Toby
| Subject: another successful rescue: Montana Toby the 3 yr. formerly shy salt/pepper Mini at the Dedman Foundation shelter in Ft. Benton trekked his way across Montana and Washington today along with "Ashley", a 13 yr. American Eskie also going to rescue. Toby went to the very able hands of Karla from our list and a member of Seattle Purebred Rescue. I'll let Karla do the update on his new home but just wanted to thank everyone who emailed me with offers to help Toby. Here's the URL with his post grooming picture on the Ft. Benton Recently Adopted page: http://montanapets.org/df/pictures/archive/00-DF014.html I just kept picturing his cute face riding across WA all day at work. Karla, tell us about Toby's new home! Thanks again, everyone. Dianne Armstrong Dogs4@juno.com Montana Pets on the Net http://montanapets.org Toby's new owner has been in grief counseling for several months since
her MS died at the age of 15. Her therapist recommended that she get
a new friend. She has owned Miniature Schnauzers for many years and was
very lonely for the company of another. She called me every couple
of hours on the night before Toby was due to arrive and then showed up an
hour early on the day of his arrival. I wish I could share with you
all the huge bear hug she gave me. Her hand were shaking with emotion as she stroked Toby's head and told him
how beautiful he was. Even I got teary when Toby kissed her face. |
