Eight year old Tonto became homeless when his owner moved and could only take one of her dogs. Despite the drastic change in his circumstances, Tonto remained happy and loved everyone he met.

Good things come to those who wait politely! Zsa Zsa has been such a polite and patient dog and a pleasure to have around as she waited for a forever family. Her wait is over and we’ll miss her but we’re happy for her and this cute group! Congratulations and thank you for adopting!
