About this Dog
Tonka is a 9-year-old, 90-lb neutered male Lab/Staffy mix. He is a very affectionate, people-loving dog who loves giving kisses and hugs, enjoys attention, and knows several commands.
As he has gotten older, his needs have changed, and we are looking for the right home for him. Tonka needs to be the only pet because he becomes very anxious around other dogs and may snap when overwhelmed. He also needs an adult-only home with no young children. He has snapped at our young daughter several times and recently started pushing her out of the way, so we can no longer safely keep him in our home.
He has significant separation anxiety and becomes very anxious when left alone. He is also anxious during car rides and may whine and bark. He has some back-leg issues and cannot manage long walks. He currently takes anxiety medication.
We are looking for a quiet, loving home with someone experienced with anxious or senior dogs, ideally someone who spends a lot of time at home. We want to find Tonka a safe, loving home where he can enjoy his senior years.

Adopt Tonka and Receive Tonka's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Tonka's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.

How will Tonka receive the contribution?
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Tonka, thank you for providing a home and a loving family! Please begin the process of claiming Tonka's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Tonka was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Tonka’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
What happens to unclaimed funds?
We want the Tonka’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Tonka’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
