Tonka

Tonka is a 9-year-old, 12-pound Dachshund who was rescued from a home along with 41 other dachshunds. He's a true "Velcro dog" who thrives on close companionship and affection. Tonka instantly bonds with his people, forming deep attachments and showering them with love. He was observed to be wonderfully sweet with an 8-year-old boy, becoming inseparable and following him everywhere. Tonka walks nicely on leash, is house-trained, and travels well. He's not particularly interested in toys, preferring a warm lap and quiet time. Like many rescue dogs, Tonka benefits from a patient, consistent, and predictable routine to build trust and feel secure. Once settled, his loyal and affectionate personality truly shines. He's looking for adopters committed to giving him the time he needs to adjust and feel at home. If you're seeking a devoted best friend who cherishes cuddles, Tonka is the one for you!
