About Tonka ~ Staffy x puppy (on trial 6/1/2019)
Tonka is a very lovable 8 week old Staffy x pup and we promise the minute you see him will be instant love. His favorite thing in the world is humans, and he loves to be wherever you are.
Tonka is a solid little tank with a beautiful coat. He will grow up to be a medium dog. We always recommend puppy-training classes to give your new family member the best start in life. All dogs and puppies need plenty of affection, exercise, and training.
He has been living inside at his foster home, sleeping in a doggy bed at night and fully uses our doggy door to come in and out as he pleases. We have been working hard to toilet train and getting better every day. We would love for Tonka to go to a home that would welcome him inside as part of the family. Tonka loves to play with his Chihuahua and Dachshund foster siblings and loves his soft toys.
Tonka will need a friendly adult dog as a teacher, companion and playmate as he would be too lonely on his own. It would also be good if someone in the household doesn't work full time. You need good fencing with no small gaps. He can't go to rural fencing (eg: mesh or wire).
Tonka is patiently awaiting his perfect home and a family to love with all his heart.
Tonka's sister Tilly is also available for adoption.
As Tonka is not yet desexed, he is only available for adoption to Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Central Coast and Port Stephens because he'll need to be returned to our vet for desexing when he's approximately 5 months old.
For more information or to meet Tonka, please contact his foster carer Brooke on brook_eh@live.com.au Tonka is in foster care in Ellalong, NSW.
Tonka's adoption fee is $550 and includes his desexing, vaccinations and microchipping and she's been treated for fleas and worms.

Adoption details
(1) The first step is to fill in our online Adoption Questionnaire:

If there is a phone number listed in the dog's profile then you can also phone for more information.
(2) If the questionnaire is approved you can arrange to meet the pet, usually at the foster carer's home or nearby.
(3) If that goes well we will arrange a property check so we can verify that your home and yard are suitable for the pet you've selected. We will ask to see photo ID.
(4) If both sides agree, then you can pay for and adopt your new family member! The two week trial begins on the day of adoption. More details of our Adoption Procedure on our website: https://tinyurl.com/adoptproc
