Special Needs Canine’s Christmas Wish to Walk was Granted

A Shih Tzu and Yorkie mix puppy named Toby struggled with his mobility because he was born with a condition called Hydrocephalus. It is a serious condition in which there is a build of fluids deep inside the cavity of the ventricles of the brain. This puts pressure on the brain that affects mobility, coordination, vision, and many other aspects.

Since Toby was struggling and needed a lot of care, his parent considered euthanizing the little pup. Fortunately, the Yorkie Rescue organization in Florida got to know about the pup’s condition, they decided to take in the little pup and provide him all the care he needs.

While speaking to People Pets, the president and founder of the rescue organization, Kit DeRoche stated that every life is worth living, no matter what challenges Toby has they are never too big for Florida Yorkie Rescue. They reached out to Walkin’ Pets to help Toby with his condition.

Walkin’ Pets is a pet mobility company based in New Hemisphere, United States manufactures custom-made wheelchairs for canines in need. The company fulfilled Toby’s Christmas wish of moving freely on his own by giving him a tiny custom wheelchair.

Toby quickly got comfortable with the wheelchair, he can now stand and walk easily at his own pace. The Florida Yorkie Rescue shared details about Toby’s wonderful journey on their official social media account. Walkin’ Pets Company was moved by the pup’s perseverance that they decided to grant his Christmas wish. Team members from this company flew to Florida to meet and gift him the wheelchair.

Kit DeRoche decided to adopt Toby, she was excited to make him a part of her family and to give him all the love he deserves. She is hoping that others may get inspired by the recovery Toby made in such a short time with the love and support he received.

She mentioned that she would encourage more people to give such special canines another chance to live a happy life. She further mentioned that one can never find a grateful heart than is a canine you’ve rescued or helped.
