Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
I found a new home! Plenty of my friends are looking for one too. Check out other pets at this shelter, or start a new search.

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Tunkin aka Tunkers aka tunk aka Tonka Truck. Tunk is a velcro dog, in the best way!!!! He just wants to be with you, cuddle and give kisses. He is house trained, plastic crate trained (he has escaped a metal one because he wants to be with you, we have left in out of a crate and he was fine), knows basic commands, loves to; walk, chew bones and play with toys. Do NOT be fooled by his age he has TONS of energy but will gladly cuddle on the couch and watch tv. His previous foster had cats and he did not get along with them but he is very smart and with some work could learn to get along with them. He will do best in a home where he can get daily walks and/or have lots of fenced in yard time and/or exploring on a leash. Like all wiener dogs he likes to dig and chase squirrels, chipmunks and birds with his foster brothers. If you are with him he is easily corrected and will do anything for a treat. Tunkers gets along with his 7 foster siblings but likes his alone time to chew his bones, he does NOT get aggressive if you take his bones or toys away. He does not like to share bones with his dog brothers but easily corrected. WE have taken him to multiple events with other dogs and kids where he was well mannered. If you want an easy dog that loves you he is the dog for you!!!!
