Adoption Pending - Tonka is a 4 month old male Doberman/Labrador mix. Unable to give Tonka the time a puppy needs, he was surrendered by his owner. Very sweet, happy with a soft gentleness to his personality. Tonka has the magical Doberman "lean" mastered and loves to be close to his people, even touching you if he can! If your mowing the grass he will be right behind you every step of the way! He does like to play with toys and other dogs and is very respectful of their space. Tonka is working on potty and crate training and is doing very good! While his momma was lab and daddy was a red Doberman, Tonka looks like a Doberman. The benefits of a Dobe mix is some of the genetic diseases found in the purebred Doberman may be eliminated, such as cardiomyopathy.
