Meet Tonka. This little guy was found a few days ago, tied to a chain-link fence behind a dumpster where I work. If a co-worker hadn't walked back there, he wouldn't have survived. We couldn't see him or hear him, and he was left with no food, no shelter, and no water in this sweltering heat. There was also another dog we found tied to the other end of the same area the same day, but it managed to free itself and ran away. I found a home for him, and he was taken for shots and a heartworm test. The heartworm test came back positive. Treatments for this can run up to $3,000.00 or more; one vet quoted $2,500.00, but they need to see him first.

The family that has taken him are already very attached, and Tonka is a very pleasant, well-mannered little guy who deserves a good rest of his life. It is urgent he receives treatment right away.

We are trying to soften the financial blow, so any amount would help.

Please give if you can. Thank you in advance.

UPDATE: Tonka had his first vet visit. They gave him shots, including a rabies vaccine. He had very dirty ears and that's why he didn't seem to hear very well. That was dealt with and he has been given antibiotics. They took another heartworm test, and the family was given a cost for the treatment. It could take 6 months to a year for full recovery at a cost of $3500 just for this treatment.

We are overwhelmed by the support already received, but we still need your help.

Please share our GoFundMe if you can. ❤️
