About Toby
Hi! I'm Toby. It feels like a life-time ago that my life changed dramatically but it was actually only a few months.
I spent the first 12 years of my life with a family that didn't want to spend any time with me. They thought I was lazy and tired all the time, but the truth was I just didn't have anything to do. No-one would take me for walks or play with me or even touch me most of the time.
They liked big dogs, and I ain't a big dog at all. Their last dog before I left was a German Shepard who used to bully me - but I actually really like big dogs, they're great fun. Just not him.
When the family decided I was too old to move with them to Queensland - I felt weary, sure, but old? bah - they booked me in to the vet for euthanasia. That same day a woman came, almost out of no-where, and talked them in to letting me go with her. I was scared and worried at first but she and my foster dad play with me and take me to the beach and I've made friends with other dogs!
I feel younger every day and I've never been so alive. Although, let's not be crazy about this, I still like my long naps too.
I would really like to live with an older couple, maybe? Some people who are active but home a lot, because I get lonely otherwise.
Medical notes
Has some dermatitis on his rear, looks like irritation from flea bites that he scratches and chews. Possible clouding in his eyes limiting his vision.
Adoption details
All animals are adopted, never sold, and an adoption contract is required in each case.
We generally bring the animal(s) to you and reserve the right the inspect the housing and garden at this time. That marks the beginning of a 30 day trial adoption period.
We are committed to supporting you throughout the life of the animal you adopt, so we are here for advice or assistance where possible. We want you and your new family member to have a long happy life together so we will do what we can to ensure this.
As a guide, the following terms appear in the chicken adoption form that is required to be signed to complete the adoption. Slightly different adoption forms exist for different species but the overall principles remain the same.
1. A minimum of 3 chickens must be adopted unless you have a flock of your own already.
2. The chickens are NEVER to be killed no matter how old they get or if they stop laying eggs - which one day they will do - except for the case of humane euthanasia when all other alternatives have been exhausted.
3. If medical attention is required you commit to taking them to a good vet without delay and without concern for the cost of their treatment.
4. You do not use these chickens to make a profit.
5. You give these ladies the love they deserve. They have come from hell and are entitled to the best you can give them.
6. If the adoption is unsuitable for any reason at any time in the future you will return them to the carer rather than selling them or killing them.
7. They are never to be eaten.
8. Chickens must have a suitable garden area to roam and explore.
9. You must maintain adequate fox-proof housing.
