TOBY HAS BEEN FOUND!!!

On Tuesday January 25th Toby was found by a family on Evergreen Mill Road. He was seen chasing their chickens. He caught a chicken and killed it, but the family, seeing he was so skinny, chased him down fearing he would not survive. They called animal control but tried to not mention the chicken for fear they would put him down. Animal control, however, were also looking for him and was just as excited to have Toby safe. He was taken to Blue Ridge Veterinary Associates in Purcellville where he was treated dehydration, dewormed, given a check-up and grooming as he was filthy and covered with burrs. He lost one-third of is body weight but will be just fine and should be able to come home today - Wednesday.

I cannot express the gratitude to all the people who worked so hard to find Toby, track Toby, establish and monitor feeding station, get the word out and keep Leesburg aware and watching. It was this awareness, supported by all the contacts you made with people on a daily basis that led to his safe return and such careful handling upon his recovery. Thank you on behalf of Toby, A Forever Home Rescue and from the bottom of my heart.
