Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Tonka! He's a big but skinny 76 pound, 3 - 4 year old, neutered Alaskan Malamute who was left by the overnight drop cage on 9/22 at the Harlingen Humane Society. :-( He is extremely smart and knows several basic commands already! His favorite seems to be "paw"! He's a vocal boy who loves to be around people. He is still adjusting to his foster home, but he seems to do ok with cats and small dogs. Tonka is heartworm positive and will be available after his treatment is complete. More to come on this gorgeous boy!!!
If you are interested in pursuing an adoption and you live in Texas , please complete the application (links provided below). The process includes a vet check, calling references and doing a home visit.

or

Please note the following:
We rarely do out of state adoptions. (Exceptions can be discussed but will be based on previous big dog experience and will require same adoption process.)
Children in the home or that visit often must be at least 6 years of age. (Exceptions can be discussed but will be based on previous big dog experience.)
Adoption donation is due at the time of adoption. Puppies under 1 year are $300. Dogs 1 year to 7 years are $200 and dogs over 7 years are $150. As this is a donation, it will be non-returnable if dog is returned to rescue.
Dogs are not placed on a "first come, first serve" basis but rather the best home for the dog.
All dogs placed by TSDR will be:
spayed/neutered
vaccinated for distemper/parvo, rabies, and bordetella
heartworm tested and treated if needed
microchipped
other vetting as deemed needed
New owners will receive copies of all available vet information and must agree to keep them current on all of the above.
