Tonka is a bundle of joy with a big heart for toys, walks, treats, water, and hanging out with his favorite people. He’s the type of dog who brings home energy everywhere he goes. Tonka could thrive with another well-matched dog after a meet-and-greet with staff. What makes Tonka unique is his deafness, which, according to volunteers, is a surprising asset: he remains relaxed even in noisy settings. He adjusted smoothly to an overnight stay, loved outings to sports bars, and enjoyed meeting new people. Deaf dogs like Tonka rely on hand signals and visual cues—he’s eager to learn and responds well to positive reinforcement. To keep Tonka safe, he should always be leashed unless he’s in a securely fenced yard. Adopting a deaf dog comes with rewards and plenty of support. Tonka is well-mannered, adapts quickly, and is ready to give your family his loyalty and love. Click apply to start the adoption process.
