From Euthanasia List to Pacific Northwest Paradise: Neglected Dog Toby Finds Love and Healing in Forever Home

Toby was brought into the city shelter in extremely rough condition. He was emaciated, had a severe skin infection, and was missing quite a bit of fur. It was clear that he had been neglected and left to fend for himself on the streets for a long time. Toby landed on the euthanasia list at the city shelter and his future looked bleak. SAPA looked past his sad appearance, and quickly noticed how sweet Toby was, despite not receiving much love or care in his past. Toby was brought into our SAPA Transport program and was sent to a temporary foster home, where he relaxed and felt truly loved for the first time. A couple of weeks later, Toby jumped on the transport trailer and headed to his forever home in Portland, Oregon. Now Toby looks like a completely different dog! His coat is healthy and soft, and he has truly struck the jackpot with his new parents that adore him! He regularly goes hiking, admiring the amazing views of the Pacific Northwest.
