Meet the delightful Tonka! This pure bundle of joy radiates love for life with every wag of his tail. 🌟 From chasing toys and enjoying long walks to indulging in treats, making a splash in water, and showering admiration on his cherished humans—he embraces it all with an open heart! Just picture him by your side as you embark on spontaneous adventures, making unforgettable memories together. 🐾✨ But wait, there’s something special about our boy Tonka: he’s deaf! Now, don’t be alarmed; this unique trait is a remarkable advantage. He’s already proven himself to be an adaptable superstar during his overnight stay—thriving in new environments like bustling sports bars and friendly gatherings. 🎉 His calm demeanor amidst the hustle and bustle will leave you in awe! Deaf dogs, like Tonka, are trained using hand signals and visual cues, employing positive reinforcement to learn and grow. They live vibrant lives just like hearing dogs, and Tonka is no exception. Just remember that for his safety, he should be leashed outside unless in a securely fenced yard. 🦮 Picture the joy of welcoming a loving companion who overflows with affection and turns your home into a haven of happiness. Tonka adapts quickly and is poised to share boundless love with that special family. He’s neutered, weighing in at a solid 51.2 lbs and at the bright age of 1 year and 7 months, filled with zest for life! 🥰 Tonka is looking for a family that can appreciate his unique traits. He could even thrive in a home with a friendly canine buddy after a successful meet & greet with shelter staff. Imagine the duo they could be—an unstoppable team of love and laughter! Remember, adopting a deaf dog like Tonka is not only rewarding but also a fulfilling journey. There are countless resources out there to help you navigate this beautiful experience. 🧭💖 This loving animal is new to the rescue, so you can bookmark Tonka in the Buddy App and check back for more updates later!
