about toby

Toby was found on a frozen street after being hit by a car, paralyzed and unable to move. His previous owners were contacted but chose not to reclaim him due to his injuries. A veterinary clinic stepped in to keep him comfortable and reached out to us for help. Toby underwent spinal surgery to stabilize his back, and he's now making steady progress through weekly rehabilitation sessions as his body heals.

While Toby is adapting remarkably well to his new reality, he will eventually be fitted with a custom wheelchair once his spine has fully mended, giving him the mobility and independence he needs to navigate the world again. His future family will need to be home frequently to provide the consistent care he requires. Toby is incontinent, which means he'll need regular expressing and understanding when accidents happen. Toby is more susceptible to UTI’s, therefore will need to be monitored closely. This is simply part of loving him, and he'll repay that care tenfold with the sweetest, most grateful kisses you can imagine.

This gentle soul has his quirks that make him endearing. He loves being tucked snugly under a blanket for his naps, where he'll serenade you with his soft snoring. After everything he's been through, Toby understandably feels vulnerable and can be wary of strangers, sometimes nipping when unfamiliar people approach too quickly. He needs slow, gentle introductions to feel safe, but once he trusts you, his affectionate nature shines through completely.

Toby needs a calm, peaceful home where he can continue healing without stress or chaos. A household without children or overly energetic dogs would be best - somewhere quiet where he can feel secure and build his confidence. If you have the time, patience, and heart to help Toby write the next chapter of his incredible survival story, he's ready to show you just how much love he has left to give.
