 The Olde Town Pickin' Parlor Welcomes New Greeter
A Good Samaritan found Toby limping and shivering in pain after he'd been hit by a car. His owners were found, but turned their back on him. Toby was immediately examined by orthopedic specialists at Alameda East Veterinary Hospital. They found his leg was shattered -- broken in six places including through the ball of the femur -- and could not be salvaged.
In less than a month, Kit adopted this handsome labrador. Toby has a new lease on life not only as a loved Lab, but as the official store greeter with a smile and a wag for all who enter.
 Please take a moment to check out http://www.safeharborlabrescue.org/ to see more of these beautiful animals that need a home.
And - stop by and see Toby at the store! |
