It was completely unexpected for Ann Hoang that their first foster dog experience would be so life-changing, particularly for her husband. The Hoangs wanted second dog to their family, but they already had their first dog, Charlie, to care for, which made it difficult.
The family was unsure whether they would be able to manage the additional responsibilities that would come with adopting another dog. Instead of adopting, they decided to try their hand at fostering.
As a result, they reasoned, if they could foster a dog, they should be allowed to adopt one from an animal shelter. This is how Toby and the Hoangs first came to know one other.
Toby is a South Korean rescue dog that was flown to a safe house in the United States after being abandoned in his home country.
He was saved from the shelter by “Band For Animal,” a non-profit group committed to preventing dogs from being lost or becoming victims of the meat-market trade.
Toby was lucky in that he was put in the care of the Hoangs right away. Toby was first afraid and apprehensive of his new surroundings, and he was right to be. Toby gradually felt more at ease as a result of the love and care he received from his foster family.

On the first night, Toby was seated next to Mr. Hoang, and the two instantly made friends with one another. In the aftermath of that night, Toby started to show signs of his personality, and Charlie even began to like him.
The two families became inexorably intertwined. Toby was able to make everyone fall in love with him in less than a week. If Toby was adopted, Ann Hoang’s heart ached as she realized how heartbroken they would all be if that happened.
It was because of Toby that two families expressed an interest in meeting him, and it was then that I realized how sad my husband would be if he didn’t show up, according to Ann Hoang.
In spite of the fact that my husband and Toby had only been dating for a week, they were inseparable. My spouse is a selfless man who is always willing to put others’ needs ahead of his own. His mother said, “He’s never really begged for anything or exhibited a great desire for anything,” according to Hoang.
With the intention of adopting Toby, Ann took the choice to call the animal shelter. In order to pass the home inspection required for dog adoption, she planned a surprise for her husband with the help of the staff.
In order to conduct a home inspection on the Hoangs, a group of people dressed as possible adopters arrived to the house. A card showing that Toby had been officially adopted by the family was delivered to the Hoangs after the conclusion of the home investigation by the personnel.
One of the employees gave Mr. Hoang the card, and as soon as he opened it, he broke down in tears, prompting everyone else in the room to break down as well!
According to Ann Hoang, “I anticipated him to be overjoyed, but I never expected him to weep so hard.” “This is the first time I’ve ever seen him respond this strongly to anything!” While he’s a sensitive guy, this is one of his strongest displays to yet.”
