Toffee

GREAT NEWS … Toffee found her mom today. She had to travel a long way from Oman to find her but destiny worked its magic once again and she found her place in this world against all odds.

Toffee joined Donna Pleasant of Mooresville, NC today. Donna was so excited to take her girl home she drove 12 hours leaving right after work on Friday. She was smitten with her immediately and Toffee’s mesmerizing eyes and sweet charm won Donna’s heart right away.

I have no doubt Toffee will be spoiled rotten and showered with immense love for the rest of her life. The way it should be for all dogs …😉

Thank you to Nada and Varsha from Omani Paws and all those who have helped Toffee along the way. A special thanks to Donna for opening her heart and home to this precious girl. ❤?

Pre-Adoption post – Toffee’s Story

Hi! I’m Toffee, Zaiba’s sister. I was rescued from the streets of Muscat, Oman when I was 8 weeks old with my 6 siblings! I was taken to a foster home with 17 other dogs and 4 cats. I settled in the day my foster mom brought me home. She does say that I am an easy dog.

I love going for a walk with my pack. We get to run off leash. I went to the beach and loved splashing in the water. I play so much that I tire my foster mom out, so she’s happy when Veronica and I keep each other company.

I think I am a human. I like to sit on chairs and sleep on the bed. And i have an adorable head tilt.

I haven’t seen my sister Zaiba since the day we were rescued. It is so cool that we will be arriving together. And my best friend Veronica is coming too, so we will have a fun trip to Chicago. I am told wonderful things await me in Chicago and that I will find my very own humans and become part of my own family. How exciting! I have so much love to give.

Toffee is fully vaccinated, spayed and microchipped. Toffee currently weighs approximately 20 pounds and likely to be medium sized dog when fully grown – probably 35-45. Toffee is 5 months old.

Oman is a country is an Arab country in the southeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It is filled with wonderful national treasures, vivid landscapes….. and thousands of “wadi” street dogs. These wadi dogs can be seen virtually everywhere. Unfortunately, they face the same plight as many Muslim countries where dogs are generally viewed as unclean and not fit to be pets. Dog ownership is rare and when they are owned they are usually not allowed in the house and are more often viewed as guard dogs left to roam the outside vicinity of the home. The government doesn’t have humane animal welfare laws and worse yet police are given open rights to shoot “any and all” wadi dogs. They don’t have to be a nuisance – they will be killed just for having the unfortunate luck of being born on the streets in Oman. It is common practice and worse yet many are not killed instantly but suffer the slow painful death caused by festering gunshot wounds. And if not killed by a gunshot the dogs die of diseases, starvation, heat strokes as the temperature can easily reach to 55 degrees in the summer. Most Omani wadi dogs don’t make it past 2-3 years!

Toffee is a typical happy go lucky puppy who loves to play and has a “joie de vivre”! She is great with cats and love people.

Toffee arrived intyo Chicago with her BFF Veronica and sister Zaiba on February 2, 2017
