About Tonka

Meet Tonka, a resilient and loving 3-4 month old puppy who has truly come full circle! Tonka's early life began in challenging circumstances, born at a homeless encampment where survival was a daily struggle for her, her mother, and siblings. Thankfully, a dedicated rescue team intervened, bringing them to safety and to us. Now, Tonka is thriving in a warm foster home, discovering the joys of being a cherished puppy.

Don't let her past fool you – Tonka is bursting with personality and a zest for life! She's a delightful blend of playful energy and affectionate sweetness. When you hold her, she melts into your arms, nuzzling her head onto your shoulder. She adores playtime and has a blast romping with her foster family's resident dog, learning and growing with a canine friend. After her adventures, Tonka is a professional napper, enjoying cozy slumber sessions. She's also quite the adventurer, already a great car passenger who loves going for rides! As a smart and energetic Border Collie/Shepherd mix, Tonka is sure to grow into a brilliant and active dog.

Ideal Home

Tonka's future forever family should have experience with working breeds, specifically Shepherd breeds. This will help provide her with the guidance, mental stimulation, and training she needs to reach her full potential. She would also love to have a playful canine sibling to continue learning from and enjoy life with!
