Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Updated Bio 11/16/15
Tobey is a 3 year old 10 lb. Yorkie Boy being fostered in Cordova TN
Tobey here with an updated! Hey every PAWDY! I just moved to my new Foster Home in Cordova TN. I like it here! I have two cute little foster siblings to play with and my new Foster Mom is very good to me. I am making good progress on my journey from being a Puppy Mill dog to becoming a normal and happy Yorkie boy. I love having a soft bed, yummy nutritious food, a safe environment, other pups to play with and nice humans that only want to love me and help me. This is SO VERY DIFFERENT from my life at the Puppy Mill. This week I am going to the Dogtor to get my teeth cleaned, have a micro-chip inserted and also get "neutered." I'm not sure what that last part means but I'm okay with it if it means I get to start looking for my FOREVER home. Foster Mom says after I have all this stuff done I will be ready to start the search and I am VERY EXCITED for that to happen. If you have questions about me you can email my foster Mom at memphisyorkie@outlook.com and thanks for reading my Bio!
Initial Bio 11/6/2015 Tobey is a 3 year old, 10 lb. Yorkie boy being fostered in Nashville TN.
Tobey was taken into UYR from the Animal Rescue Corps puppy mill rescue operation in rural Mississippi. The Animal Rescue Corps in collaboration with law enforcement agencies responded to a tip from a concerned citizen found Toby and almost 70 other small breed animals living in terrible conditions. They were living in wire cages outdoors exposed to the elements. These dogs were rescued and brought to the safety of the ARC temporary shelter in Lebanon TN.
As a rescue partner, UYR was asked to assist with helping Tobey and 5 other Yorkies receive continued medical care and eventually a new forever home where they will become treasured family members.
Tobey has spent his whole life living in the confines of a wire rabbit hutch without the love of a home and family. Those days are OVER and Tobey is now FREE from that terrible life!
Tobey saw the Dogtor yesterday and we had some pretty good news. Despite the terrible conditions Tobey was living in he is in reasonably good health. Despite his 3 years in the puppy mill, Toby is very affectionate and eager to give lots of love to his Foster Mom and Dad. He also gets along GREAT with his other fur siblings. Since Tobey has not been neutered his does exhibit the types of behavior that unaltered males do but we hope that with the help of his foster parents, the support of his Facebook family and his upcoming neutering he will become more of a "gentleman" LOL. Tobey is also in need of a dental and will have this done at the same time.
We believe that Toby is young and healthy enough to forget about his puppy mill days and go on to live a normal, happy and healthy life. If you think you might be Tobey's perfect forever home, go ahead and apply to adopt him.
If you would like show Toby some EXTRA SPECIAL love, please help by donating towards his care.
