# Our Story: From Abandoned to Adored
## It Started With Tobby
In February 2024, I found a helpless Jack Russell starving in an abandoned goat kraal in Botswana. He couldn't walk properly, and it was clear he had been left to fend for himself. I couldn't leave him there.
I took him home, washed him, fed him, and rushed him to the vet for treatment. That day changed both of our lives forever. I named him Tobby The Boy, and he didn't just become my dog - he became my inspiration.
## Why Rescue Pride Co. Exists
Tobby's rescue opened my eyes to a truth that every rescue dog parent knows: **we don't just save them - they save us too.**
There are thousands of dogs like Tobby waiting in shelters and on the streets worldwide, hoping for someone to see their worth. They don't need to be purebred or perfect. They just need a chance.
That's why Rescue Pride Co. was born - to celebrate rescue dogs, honor their stories, and support the organizations working tirelessly to give more dogs their second chance.
