About Chrisstiee / Tonka (Labrador retriever) in Broomfield

Chrisstiee / Tonka is waiting for you at Mile High Labrador Retriever Mission in Broomfield, CO 80038. General Notes | Quite literally pulled moments before his euthanasia deadline due to being scared and fearful in the shelter, Tonka is hoping for a big break - a forever family, and no more scary days. While his name might bring to mind something tough and indestructible, Tonka is actually a gentle soul who is looking for a very specific kind of sanctuary. He is a "slow-burn" companion—the kind of dog who won't rush to the door to greet a stranger, but who will eventually become your shadow once he knows he is safe.Tonka is currently seeking a special, quiet home where the world moves at a slower pace. He finds comfort in routine and soft voices, and he needs a patient person who understands that trust isn't given instantly—it’s earned in small, beautiful increments. With time, a steady hand, and a calm environment, Tonka’s true personality begins to emerge: a deeply loyal, loving, and soulful friend who just needed to know the world could be kind. If you have a quiet corner of your home and a large amount of patience in your heart, Tonka is waiting for the chance to show you just how much love he has to give.Want to adopt this dog?
