Story
ABOUT TONKA Calling GSD lovers, meet Tonka! This sweet, handsome boy is a 6-year-old German Shepherd with the biggest heart. Tonka came to HAP when his owners were no longer able to care for him. Understandably, after living in a home, Tonka is feeling confused and scared. Despite his worries, he doesn’t have a mean bone in his body! The shelter can be fast-paced and loud, which can be overwhelming at times. When Tonka feels anxious, he’s quick to lean on his friends for reassurance and looks to you for guidance and comfort. In true GSD fashion, he is incredibly loyal and loving to those who care for him. He loves butt scratches, ear rubs, and the occasional boop on the nose. However, he does not appear to have separation anxiety, as he is content to be left alone in our offices, as long as he has a comfy bed, of course! While Tonka has behaved beautifully with us, he is visibly sad to be here, which has made it difficult to fully see just how amazing he can be. He has not shown much interest in toys, his ears may perk up at the sound of a squeaker, but he is so overwhelmed by his environment that he does not engage in play. On walks, he is often looking around as if he wants to go home. We know this boy has so much love to give, he just needs to leave the shelter and return to a calmer, more peaceful environment. If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! All household members, including children and other dogs, must come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, fecal testing, heartworm testing, and a small bag of food to get you started.
