Toby is a 8 year old Shiba Inu in Coon Rapids, MN, who needs $4,000 for Orthopedic Surgery for His Right Hind Leg.

Hi, I’m Toby. I live in Minnesota where the cold does bother me at all. I like to play with snow and digging my face in snow piles. My puppy eyes are my strongest weapon when I’m asking for food.

I hurt my left hind leg while playing in the snow. I hop around and still full of energy. When my parents do not notice, I seeks out and tried to conquer the stairs, but I failed and hurt my other hind leg as well. My parents took me to Banfield Hospital to performed diagnosis and xray exams.

Toby holds a special place in my heart. To me, he is a family member and it is painful to see him unable to run around, be aggressive with his toys. Even though he hurt, he still wants to greet us when we get home and still a all time big eater when he smells good food.

This unexpected event does bring financial burden on us. As we planned for the wedding, this event does bring up the cost and caught us off guard financially.
