happy taiyaki tuesday 🐠

and also happy national rescue pup day!

a little backstory on toby:

- we adopted him from a rescue org in april 2020 about a week after quarantine started when he was 5-6 months old

- his rescue org is called mercer animal rescue and is based in memphis. they rescue dogs from the south and adopt them out to families in nyc, chicago, and dc

- the only history they had on him was that he was found abandoned in the backwoods of mississippi with his mom and sister and passed around to a few different owners before landing with us

- he was so scared when we first brought him home that he wouldn’t come out of his crate or walk outside for the first week

it’s been a long journey to get him to where he is today but also the best experience of my life meeting my best friend and soul dog 💙

rescue dogs can be the best dogs if you’re willing to put in the work

Love the backstory, rescue pups are the best
