1/9/22 Toby was adopted today. A month before Toby came to us he was hit by a car. His owners brought Toby to the shelter and told the shelter he has a broken pelvis from being hit by a car a month back. They brought him to the shelter to be euthanized. Thankfully the shelter saw a mostly healthy young adult dog who needed a chance. They reached out to their rescue partners and asked for a rescue commitment for him by 5:00pm or he would be euthanized. We couldn't let that happen. That day was not going to be Toby's last day of life, and so Toby became a United Yorkie Rescue dog, and like all UYR dogs we committed ourselves to do whatever is necessary that can be done to fix him.

Toby had a broken pelvis, a broken toe and a severely damaged leg. There was nothing that could be done for his pelvis since the bones were already mending, though not correctly, after a month. What we could do for him was take care of what we could. He had a toe amputated as well as the rear leg that was beyond repair. Toby took a while to heal since he went through what the surgeon said was phantom limb syndrome and had to wear a cone to keep from gnawing on the area where his missing limb and toe once were. Then it happened-he was ready for his forever home.

Today Toby went to his forever home with his forever mom. She is so excited to have this sweet boy who is not only leash trained and house trained, he is also as loving as any dog can be. He will have a lot of friends in his new community and get to go on lots of fun walks. His forever mom will take him everywhere she goes, even to the restaurant. He will have a nice little porch to hang out in to catch the sun and so much love. Never again will he be neglected. He will know nothing but kindness. and care, and love for the rest of his life.
