Soon available: Misha was one of the four pups that came from Kabul Small Animal Rescue. Upon her arrival, we noticed some lameness. It turns out she needed TWO CCL (the doggy equivelent of a ACL repair!). Her surgery has been completed and she is finishing up PT. We look forward to her finding her furever home at the end of September once the therapists sign off on her completed therapy.
Watch this gorgeous Collie/Husky girl as she continues her recovery.
Thank you Gary of Hatton Animal Rescue Foundation Maryland, for giving her the care she needs as she recovers.

ONE DAY LATE: August 26th - International Dog Day! For all pup pawrents, thank you for giving a deserving pup a furever home Update on Barley (FKA Megan).
Megan was overlooked over and over again and we knew why. She didn't "show well". So when we first interviewed David and Terry, we warned them she would be skittish and hide behind me but with patience her sweet, loving, cuddly and affectionate self would come out.
Today we got an update and reminder from Terry,
"For all those who don't look twice at the shy, scared dogs because they are too challenging or overlook the ones that do not show well. We came down and met our fur baby Barley (AKA Megan) and you were right.. she did not show well but we decided to give her a chance. We had a rough start..she threw up twice on the 8 hour ride home (traffic was horrible), she spent the first day in her crate, we had to crawl in there to hook her up to go outside. In less than 1 week she is a different girl. She spends her time on our couch, goes outside in our back yard with no leash, comes when called, is getting used to the man of the house (will walk not run by him) and best of all she is smiling! We are so grateful to have been the ones to bring her out of her shell. She is an awesome girl and a perfect fit for our family."

Thank you David and Terry and Moose for giving her the chance to love and shine. She is such a sweet, gentle soul and will only improve with time!

Pupdate! Bonded Pair Remi and Ella...We are thrilled to receive an update about Remi and Ella. Two pups that came separately but found that life was better together. Ella and Remi were at TRHQ less than a week before we realized they needed each other and we quickly went on the hunt for a family looking to adopt two pups together.
Enter Melissa and Jack. In late January they opened their life and home to these two cuties.
"The pups are doing so good. We had some set backs with Remi but loved him thru it and now he insists on sleeping touching both of us. Ella is doing amazing. We’ve been working on her recall so she can run around the yard and she’s a natural. She just runs and runs around in circles. Both are learning new commands and seem like happy pups. We now have the food store shop for us so we can bring them along on errands every weekend and they LOVE it. They love puzzles and man is Remi smart. Ella holds her own but Remi is so damn clever. Can’t imagine life without them."

Pupdate! Polly was adopted by Mei in Aug of 2022! Polly arrived in early Spring, 2022 and we quickly realized that despite our protocals, she tested positive for Heartworm! Mei had already decided she was the girl for her so we arranged that she would foster-to-adopt until we completed her HW treatment and she received the all-clear. By August, Polly was HW free.
Mei reached out to say they can't attend the reunion but that Polly continues to thrive and be the love of her life and best of all, Mei bot a Polly tattoo in honor of this wonderful little survivor.
We love our wonderful TR family of adopters, fosters,volunteers and our rescuers in PR.

Our TR reunion is just three weeks away! We are getting excited. Since the invite went out, we have got some wonderful updates on our TR pups including River, FKA Buddy! River was adopted in May, 2021 by Hillery and she wrote to say, "River (Buddy to you) & I would love to attend the Toby’s Rescue Reunion, but we live in California now. River is endlessly fascinating to my two grandsons here, ages almost 3 and 7 months. Thank you for the invitation & connecting me with my furry friend."
We are so love to get these updates!

Just adopted! We couldn’t be happier for Megan, now Barley! Our TR family came together to make a perfect match! We knew Barley needed a sibling to live life in full, we knew she needed a quiet home in a quiet neighborhood. Jim and Mike, Pawrents of alums, Chela and Chami set out to make a match and a match they made! Nephew, David, wife, Terry and lookalike pup, Moose came and met little Miss Megan and knew she would be the perfect addition. Barley heads home yesterday and this morning we got an update. She and Moose are already happily playing. Some pups take more time than others to find their perfect home but the wait is so worth it! Happy home life Barley and thank you to Jim and Mike for setting out to make a match! You rocked it!

Sweet Afghan pup Nala just joined us at TRHQ. Part of the Kabul Small Animal Rescue airlift of 300 animals in June, Nala has been chilling at Hatton Animal Rescue Foundation Maryland for the last couple of months. She had a blast hanging with the barn animals but it is time to get her settled into a home environment. Nala joined the team at TRHQ earlier this week and she took to it as if she had lived her whole life in a home.
Calm, quiet and chill in the home, she is a definition of a greyhound - a daily brief spurt of outrageous speed chasing and playing with another pup and then she is ready to just snooze away.
Many of the Kabul pups were taken in by Kabul Small Animal Rescue after the sudden withdrawal from Afghanistan by embassy personnal which explains why they settle into home life so easily!
For more information about this elegant greyhound mix beauty, reach out to us.

Pupdate! Little Sara, FKA Zorrita, celebrated her pupaversay recently. Mom, Magdalis, reached out to tell us that Sara is enjoying every season! Loved wearing her sweaters when it was cold and chasing cicadas in the summer. She’s super protective of our toddler and loves sleeping with us!
We love our pupdates about all the TR alum.
Will you join us on the 13th for the TR reunion?

08/19/2024

Who would have guessed Miss Megan is a water dog! This week, she will be meeting Moose and his family and auditioning them as her forever family. Moose looks like he could be her brother and we are pretty sure they will become besties in no time.
Stay tuned for an update on this sweet, goofy, loving girl!

Adopted and adored and freshly back from the barber shop!
Benny was a "foster fail". His foster pawents fell in love with him within a couple of days of fostering him and he officially joined Jo and Mike on Valentine's Day, 2024!
They sent in his freshly groomed photo recently. We can see he is living his very best life!
Fosters save lives and allow us to keep rescuing. Thank you to all our fosters who have helped launch another sato in the DMV.

Currently she is loving having her friend, adopted and adored Kalua as a buddy to hang out with.

Adopted and adored and living her best life with Julie. Little Miss Amy arrived to us from BARCs and Hatton Animal Rescue Foundation Maryland in pretty rough shape. She was living on the streets, her tail and rear left foot had long ago breakages, she had multiple infections, UTI and was horribly underweight. Just three months later, this little sweetie has gained weight, her coat is coming in soft and silky and she is loved by mom, .
Another happy ending by Toby.

Getting settled at TRHQ and soon to be available for adoption. Farley, a sweet, affectionate little fella of 24 lb and six years old is looking for a quiet home with a fenced yard. He would like to be the only animal in the home so that he can get all the cuddles and attention.

08/05/2024

Pupdate! Sweet Benji, a local rescue rescued from under a porch, matted, filthy and not having had any vetting, just got groomed and is looking mighty fine with brother, Diego.
Furever pawrents, Dulce and Helder, met this boy and quickly realized he was the perfect companion for big brother Diego.
Not only did the TR family gain another wonderful adopter but they have volunteered to be flight angels for us this week and two more satos will gain their freedom wings!

Both AVAILABLE! Two gorgeous girls having the time of their lives! Megan and Gigi quickly became good friends while staying at TRHQ! They are both still looking for their perfect furever homes. Might it be with you?

She has never met a person she doesn’t want to say hello to. She is seen here with Jr Volunwer, Carys. Gigi also loves having canine friends of all shapes and sizes. This gorgeous 70 lb hunk of love is sweet, affectionate, good in her crate but just as happy to chill and snooze on her bed or the sofa.

Pupdate/Update for our Kabul Small Animal Rescue fans, Remember Fish, a sweet, gorgeous husky mix? Upon her arrival, we realized she was having difficulty walking. Our partner in rescue, Hatton Animal Rescue Foundation Maryland who is fostering her, got her into a specialist to see what was going on and she has two torn Cranial Cruciate Ligament, (sort of like an ACL). Hatton Animal Rescue Foundation Maryland got her in for the surgery to her two CCLs. She is recuperating and doing great and in October she will, if all goes well, be ready to find her forever home!
We are so grateful to Gary at Hatton for giving her the chance to live a full and healthy life.
