The tragedy of Toby (Oldies Club, fostered Lancashire)
Toby arrived in foster care and it quickly became clear that he had very serious health problems. After examination by the vet, who confirmed that Toby was in a lot of pain and couldn’t be saved, he was put to sleep in his poor foster carer’s arms. Our thoughts are with Toby and his lovely foster carer. :(

Pretty Penny (Oldies Club Sponsor Dog)
Penny’s adopter very sadly passed away in 2016 and so Penny came back into Oldies Club care. Her records show that she is now 22 years old(!) and due to her age and a number of health issues, we felt it was in Penny’s best interest for her to be placed in our sponsor dog scheme, which means she will stay in her wonderful forever-foster home for the rest of her life, with Oldies Club covering her vet bills.
