My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Tonka A182060
78 lb. neutered male, approx 1 year old

-This big boy absolutely loves to run and play outside!
-Inside he was a little nervous but handled himself well!
-He likes treats, sits and takes them gently
-He’s also a big lap dog who enjoys pets and giving kisses
-He is extremely strong on leash and needs a confident handler
-Seems non reactive to dogs nearby and may do well living with a fur sibling after slow and proper intros

**He came in with Sassy! They absolutely love, love running and playing together! They get along really well. They are super tolerant of each other and their crazy antics. Sassy will grab Tonka’s tail while running and he is totally fine with it. He turns around and chases her too. She had a treat….he ran over….she dropped it and picked it back up and he just stood there waiting. They are silly and perfect together! If anyone has the space to adopt these two big dogs, we would love to keep them together!

•Meet all of our adoptable pets on our website friendsofdacc.org/adopt

•Please keep in mind that the shelter can be a very stressful environment.

•Studies show that a minimum of 3 days decompression drastically lower stress hormones and allow the dog to show more personality after they have settled in.

•There is a suggested donation of $100 for our dogs, payable by cash, check or through paypal at the time of the adoption.

•To meet them please go to front door and a DACC staff member will assist you with adoption or fostering.

**And when coming to meet one of our dogs, please bring all the humans with you, but leave any current dogs at home. Staff will go over how to slowly and properly introduce them after a decompression period.**

•The shelter is open 7 days a week from 10:30-5:30
