After releasing the dog, whom they named Toby, they gave him some dog food. He was so hungry that he gobbled it all down!

It wasn’t just some food that they gave to this dog, they were there to change his life. They took him to the veterinarian and made sure he got all of the care he needed.

Three weeks later, Toby was a different dog. He had really grown and healed during that short time.

His neck, which had been torn by the chain and the collar was now healed. He had also gained weight and they taught him how to walk on the leash.

Toby will make a wonderful addition to the right family. They are looking for someone to adopt him.
