Young Tobes (Now Toby) was surrendered to DRA after being contacted by the RSPCA. He was found as a stray and unfortunately had to spend several weeks in the shelter to allow his previous owners to come forward. Which did not happen. Toby was certainly ready to start his new life when collected by his adoptive dad, insisting on sitting on his lap on the drive home. On arrival Toby met his new mum and the three kids in the family. Toby is a friendly, happy and playful dachshund and has not looked back. Toby's favourite time of the day is 2.30pm (which he somehow automatically knows) when he walks to the school to bring the kids home for afternoon play.
I just wanted to give an update on Tobes, Toby as we call him.

We just love him! He is the perfect fit for us. Loves the kids, loves walking to school and has stopped barking at other kids. Absolutely loves car rides, so we take him everywhere we can.
Sits on me all day, as I work from home. Is more confident now lay outside in the sun for periods of time by himself.
We are currently at a friend's farm and he thinks he's a farm dog, getting round with the other dogs. Loves zooming about the fields. Although we have to keep him on the lead in the cow field to stop him chasing the calves.
To his previous owner, you raised him well and must miss him dearly. Know that he is loved with us.
