Toby's Story

Toby was found wandering in the Sierra Nevada Mountains with his sister, who, shortly after being rescued, froze to death. He was taken to a rescue where he was taken in by Dionna H. She named him Rocky and kept him for months, unbeknownst to her landlord. Unfortunately, after about 4 months of secrecy, carpet cleaners came. Toby barked nonstop at them, and the cleaners complained to her landlord. He said that Dionna had to get rid of him - as soon as possible. So she posted on Nextdoor saying that she had to give up her dog. Which is where they came in. While searching Nextdoor, (see How He Came To Us) they found Toby, and, immediately in love, Hannah and Alexander dialed up the attached number. After talking for only a couple of minutes, Dionna drove over with Toby and all of his things in tow. She had been on the way to see another person, and if they hadn't talked to Dionna along with their mom, he would have been gone. As soon as Toby came out of the car, he jumped on them, and they knew they had made the right choice. They have been inseparable ever since.

How He Came To Us

The morning had started out like any other, and Hannah and Alexander weren't expecting much of anything to happen, much less fulfill their dream by getting a dog. They were redecorating their room, and had rediscovered peacock feathers tucked away in a closet. They had just finished Fun-tacking them to the wall when their dad excitedly called to them "You guys! There's a peacock on our driveway!" they rushed down stairs, and sure enough, there was a peacock. Hannah and Alexander spent the rest of the morning feeding it cornflakes and giving it water. Around 11:45 it flew away, leaving them wondering where such an animal would have come from. So they looked on Nextdoor to see if a peacock had escaped from the zoo. They didn't find anything, but as they were closing off, a notice caught Hannah's eye. It said that someone was giving up their dog! They showed their mom the post, and called Dionna, who said she would love such a nice family to have her precious Rocky. She promptly drove over with Toby and his stuff, and then they realized they had yet to tell their dad about Toby, who had said from the beginning that there was no way that he was getting a dog! Fortunately, the moment he laid eyes on Toby, his heart melted. Still, he made Hannah and Alexander promise that they would pay for all of Toby's expenses, including vet and grooming. So they started Sir Toby's Treats. Help support Toby, with a bonus of delicious treats to your dog, by ordering now!
