Description:
Look at this majestic dog! Tonka is one big marshmallow and a lover boy! Don't let the name of his breed scare you away. Meet Tonka! Tonka is a beautiful red nose pit bull. This has been my first experience with a pit bull and I am so glad I am able to enjoy and appreciate the breed through Tonka. He is definitely a must see dog and once you spend some time with him, you will fall in love. He is very big and beautiful and just wants to spend time with you. Tonka is looking for a family that wants to spend time with him and welcome him into the family. He will give you tons of unconditional love and quite a bit of entertainment. I have a female dog and a cat. He has not hurt the cat, but does chase her. Tonka wants to meet and play with everyone he see’s. He is very much like a big little boy. He shares a large kennel with my dog and all I have to say is “kennel” and he goes right to it. He loves going for car rides and walks. We walk 1-3 miles every night and he is great on a leash. Almost every night someone will ask what kind of dog he is and say how good looking he is. He is all muscle and in prime condition. I have a 2 year old grand daughter and she loves Tonka. This is our 7th foster dog and I must say Tonka is by far the best one. He just wants to please and love you. Please feel free to come see him and spend some time — he loves meeting new people. Please feel free to fill out an ADOPTION APPLICATION on our main website, www.midwestanimalrescue.org, by clicking on the Form/Applications link under Website Features. Thank You!

Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters. How to learn more about a pet: Complete the application (click on the button above) to start our process for adopting or fostering a MARS Pet. Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks. Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance. Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
