Toby (previously we named him Bobby) is a handsome chocolate-coloured dog with a special talent: when he misses someone he loves, he sometimes lets out the most unexpected little *moo* 🐮
This sweet boy’s story began in a place no dog should ever have known.
Toby was confined to a small cage around the clock in a scrapyard. Around him were birds, chickens, and even his own parents, all living behind cages. The entire scene was heartbreaking: living beings surrounded by discarded metal and debris, treated as though their lives held no more value than the junk around them.
Since our last post, Toby has been staying at daycare center so we could observe him outside the cage and give him more time to decompress. He was understandably anxious when confined, but once he was given space, we met a completely different boy.
Toby wears his happiness openly. His tail starts wagging the moment he sees familiar faces. He may hesitate when the slip lead first comes out, but once it is on, he becomes eager and ready for his walk. He walks beautifully too.
For a dog who has suffered so much, Toby is remarkably brave. He can walk through high-traffic areas without becoming reactive, taking in the noise and movement around him with quiet courage. Every walk is a reminder that, despite his past, this boy still chooses to move forward.
As we are still assessing how Toby responds to other dogs, we are looking for an adults-only home with no other pets.
Please step up for Toby (estimated 4-5 years old, hdb approve), the brave, gentle 🐮 dog who has spent too long behind bars and deserves a loving family.
