Story
Meet Tonga ! Tonga has a long rescue journey .. so sad but he is safe now. Tong'a Mom is pictured as well She is a sweet soft 25lb Spaniel. Tonga at 6-7mo weighed 20lbs we expect him to be the same as Momma. Tonga has never met a stranger. He loves to run and play and wiggle and kiss. Tonga can turn the grumpiest of people into a smiling Teddy Bear. Tongas momma is Fiji. She had 4 babies all nursing when she was hit by a car. It caused her to have 3 broken legs/pelvis. Her sister was nursing 3 puppies as well and she was hit and killed at the same time. Poor Fiji took care of all babies the best she could literally crawling to survive and nurse her and her sisters children. She was living under a rental home and they simply could care less as they "werent their dogs". Finally decaying body smells caused them to reach out for help. As you can see Fiji is now up and running and playing (she is in heartworm treatment). and Tonga is her sole surviving puppy along with is half sister Kiri (will be posted soon). Tonga is a testament to rescue. With all he has endured.....love has seen him through. Meet Tonga !
