DOG'S DESCRIPTION: Meet Babe Tonka! Tonka is a roly-poly bundle of joy who was rescued from an overcrowded shelter in Alabama — definitely no place for a puppy as special as him! Now he's cleaned up, loved up, and ready to find his people. If you're looking for a pup with personality, look no further. Tonka loves to ham it up and will have you laughing and smiling from day one!

A little about Tonka:


Sweet, lovable Lab mix with a heart of gold
Playful and full of puppy energy
Great with both people AND other dogs
Total ham — he knows he's cute and he's not afraid to show it!
In his prime for training and socialization


Tonka is at that magical puppy stage where the world is his classroom and you get to be his teacher. With the right home, this little love bug will blossom into the most loyal, joyful companion you've ever had. He promises to bring years of the kind of love and happiness that only a dog can bring — the kind that fills up a whole house.

Are you ready to add some Tonka-sized joy to your life? Submit an application today and come meet Tonka! He can't wait to meet you!

Your new pet will require a refresher in house-training. K-9 Lifesavers strongly recommends all new adopters enroll their new pet into obedience training. This provides for an easier transition into a new home, ensures the dog remains well socialized, and helps form a bond between the dog and the new family.

Adoption fees cover basic vetting, rabies (if puppy is old enough), distemper/parvo vaccinations, deworming, monthly heartworm prevention while in our care (if old enough), monthly flea/tick prevention while in our care, and transport costs. K-9 Lifesavers will also cover the cost of spay/neuter at our partner vet at 6 months of age or reimburse adopter for up to the amount of our partner vet cost should you choose to spay/neuter at your own vet.

Foster Program: Foster homes provide for the temporary care of a rescue until the dog is placed into a loving, forever home.
