Tonks

**Foster or Adopter Needed for Tonks**

Meet Tonks!

A spirited six-and-a-half-year-old Catahoula Leopard Dog/Boston Terrier/Pitbull mix currently in Cutler, OH, whose essence is a bundle of energy, affection, and tail-wagging joy wrapped in a white coat speckled with black patches and spots.

Tonks is a 55-pound snuggle enthusiast who lives for human connection, her personal motto might as well be, "I wanna be where my people are!" From the moment you wake up to her happy, wiggly greetings to the quiet, cozy nights when she curls up beside you on the couch, she is all about being your loyal love bug. While she thrives on play and physical activity, like romping around outside with her humans or solving a puzzle to uncover hidden treats, Tonks also treasures her chill time, especially on a cool floor or a soft dog bed after a good romp or brain game.

Fully house-trained and crate-trained, Tonks knows several commands, including sit, down, stay, touch, kennel, and "park it" (her cue to settle in for bedtime). She's a quick learner and responds especially well to positive reinforcement in a calm, structured environment. Tonks currently takes a daily dose of Fluoxetine to help support her confidence and manage anxiety. Many dogs benefit from this type of support, and in the right environment with structure and stability, her new family may be able to work with their veterinarian to reassess whether it is still needed.

Because she loves so fiercely, Tonks thrives in a setting where she can be the star of the show and enjoy her people's full attention. Her happiest and most relaxed environment is one where she can enjoy her people without the stress of sharing space with other pets.

Like many intelligent and observant dogs, Tonks can be alert to outside activity such as passing dogs, delivery trucks, or unfamiliar visitors. With structure and guidance, she settles well and thrives in a calm, predictable home environment.

Tonks comes with an incredible support system to help set her and her future family up for success. Her adoption fee and professional training are fully sponsored. For local adopters, this includes hands-on support from a trusted local dog training service. For adopters outside the area, her current family is still happy to sponsor training, with the adopter selecting a qualified trainer, or working together with the family to find a great fit.

Whether she's working on a Kong puzzle, chewing a favorite bone, or melting into your lap for some well-earned cuddles, Tonks is ready to give her next family endless affection, devotion, and plenty of joyful moments!
