Toby – Needs Barn Home

We are helping someone rehome Toby as he is no longer safe in the location he is living. Here is what she says about Toby:


Toby is primarily outdoor and would need that to continue as it is a major factor to his lifestyle. I have him trained to come inside my home for a feeding between 5pm-6pm daily to which he receives wet and dry food. I believe that to be an important part of my bonding with him since he isn’t prone to periods of intensive affection. When the weather is poor I can coax him in and he will sit at the foot of the bed or couch. I am able to brush him occasionally as well as examine him if I notice any cuts or usual physical behavior. I can tell he is quite resistant to being handled but will allow it if my environment is calm. He often will laze about when I am outside gardening. He does Hunt for me so he would make a good mouser for someone if needed !

Toby is just over 8 years old.  He sadly needs a new Barn home and hopefully inside access when the weather is bad.

He’s in good health and active.  He will need to continue getting a physical check up once a year. He’ll require wet food once a day, it’s been a huge part of his routine for years.

Broken Promises Rescue is a volunteer run, not-for-profit, animal rescue organization located in the lower Vancouver Island. We are a group of long time rescuers that have come together to focus on improving the lives of unwanted, neglected and orphaned animals on Vancouver Island (as well as remote communities and other areas of B.C. if our resources allow us to.) Currently we are seeing many pets overlooked in the shelter system because they have less than desirable qualities. They may have medical or behavioral issues or they may simply be the wrong color, age or breed. At Broken Promise Rescue we believe all animals deserve to experience a life without pain, loneliness or hunger and want them to know what it feels like to be loved and cherished, despite appearance, age or medical condition. We are also dedicated to public education and raising awareness to help end the ongoing abuse, neglect and suffering. Educating children and adults about the responsibilities of animal ownership will go a long way in influencing public opinion on proper animal care, and help mold a more compassionate future. No animal should suffer at the hands of ignorance.
