April, 2010
Toto was a Yorkshire terrier who was found late at night wandering in one of
the Journey's End horse pastures, dragging a leash and barking like
crazy. Florence heard the barking and thought one of the dogs had gotten out, but instead
she found little Toto. We assume she was abandoned. She was
very old, and was blind and mostly deaf.
At first, Toto was not socialized at all. She didn't want to be held and
was very jittery. (She might have been used for breeding.) Jennifer and
some of the volunteers helped her to come out of her shell. She became
much calmer, and she would wag her
tail and allow us to pet her.
She lived in the Pee Wee room and was one of the mellowest of the small
dogs.
Toto lived a couple of good years with us. She finally had to be put
down after she started having seizures.
