Meet Tonka
Tonka's details:
6 years old
Is a mastiff/bloodhound mix
Dog-friendly (Tonka LOVES other dogs! He actually tends to warm up more quickly to humans if there are other dogs around, and would prefer another dog in the home to romp around and explore with. He has done wonderfully with every single dog he's met! ).
Does ok with dog-savvy cats. If the kitties don't run, he does just finehowever if they do run, he will chase/terrorize them!
Rides very well in a vehicle!
Is extremely loyal, loving, mellow, and snuggly.
Fully potty-trained
Loves to lounge, is incredibly smart, and doesn't chew on anything he shouldn't.
Tonka's home requirements:
Tonka's #1 setback is that he has stranger danger. He is NOT a dog who's able to be immediately approached by new humans. Therefore any introductions with him need to be slow and proper (no staring, no sudden behaviors/quick movements, no reaching hands toward him, no pets until he's ready& REALLY good treats!), with a calm, understanding, and patient demeanor. It can take anywhere from 30mins to several days for Tonka to fully adjust to new peoplebut once he does, you are in with him and he is SO faithful and SO loving! His person will need to be his advocate, as any/all encounters he makes should strictly follow the above guidelines.
NO kids! He has a protective nature, and children come with more commotion + more noise. Therefore a kiddo-free environment is a must.
Much prefers females over males. Tonka's past before rescue could've definitely held some misuse by a male figure in his life. He undoubtedly gravitates toward women, so would thrive with a single, confident female. Otherwise a couple [with a very patient male] could also prove to be the perfect placement!
Toys and treats (especially if they include peanut butter! ) aplenty are a MUST!
If living in town, a fenced-in, private yard is a necessity. He will react to/bark at (& has quite the BIG bark!) people walking byand so quiet, country-living would be most ideal.
More than anything, Tonka yearns for LOVE! If you show him compassion and earn his trust, he is amazing beyond measure! If you're willing to give him that chance, he promises to return that love for the rest of his days.
