Tonka is a 9 month old Rottweiler in Willingboro, NJ, who needs $6,000 for Femoral Head Ostectomy.

I purchased Tonka as an 8 week old puppy from a friends sister who is a breeder. I dreamt about his name before I even got him so to me that was an indication this was meant. For the last 9 months he has been such a joy and full of personality. He’s great with my granddaughters and loves everyone in the family. He gets lots of cuddle time and full run of his huge backyard.

Tonka was recently diagnosed with hip dysplasia at 9 months old. We recent met with a surgeon at Red Bank Animal Hospital in Mt. Laurel NJ. He will need a Femoral Head Ostectomy, to correct his left hip. This will allow him to be pain free and improve his mobility. Tonka is currently having issues walking, running and just doing normal things that a puppy his age should be able to do.

Tonka loves everyone. From my granddaughters down to my 82 year old mom who is his favorite. He gets super excited when he sees her and the number gets to wiggle crazy fast. He loves cuddling on the couch, pup cups from Starbucks, looking out the window and sunning hisself in the backyard. He can be very vocal when he is trying to get your attention or his point across.

My emergency fund was depleted saving him from parvo the first week I got him and I have recovered. This diagnosis is unexpected and I am doing everything in my power to raise the funds.
