Meet Tonka Justin

My name is Tonka Justin and I am 5 years old. All the way to rescue, our mom cried. She was not sure she was going to get out of the car so we could say our goodbyes. My mom has a scrapbook of me from the day I was born until they placed me in her arms when I was 8 weeks old. It was love at first sight.

We have been a close family: my mom, my dad, my friend Maizy and me. And then guess what happened? A real skin sister moved home with twins and wow, we didn’t see that coming.

The babies, the toys, the constant babies in motion… Really, we just felt scared. They were so little, and I am so big. They would get close ~ too close for me. They would ride their toys up and down the hall and I was like, “Hello, do you see me?” So for everyone’s safety, I made the trip to join rescue—and to some peace and quiet.

I met my human brothers and they love me. I have to say, the feeling is pretty mutual. We like to play tug-of-war together. They are pretty good at it, but I always win. Foster mom has taken me on a few short walks and says I’m a pro at walking on a leash.

When I’m not out for a walk or playing with my human brothers, I love to lounge around the house. There are so many good lounging spots that I can’t pick a favorite.

And don’t let my size fool you. I’m as sweet as they come. I surprised Foster Mom one time with a big, juicy kiss. She wiped it off right away, but I could tell she loved it. And I snuggled up right next to her to go to sleep one night. My stuffed polar bear and I could get used to it here, at least until I find my furever family.

With the weather being so nice lately, I like to sit on the back patio and enjoy the scenery. My bulldog sister still tries to get me to play a lot. She just barks and barks at me, but I ignore her and go back to sleep or back to chewing on my polar bear.

I also discovered I am a part-time dishwasher seeking long term employment.

Strengths: Gives a good pre-clean lick before the dishwasher does the real work; will lick any dish, anytime no matter what’s been on it.

Weaknesses: Requires frequent breaks, naps and ear scratches.

BSA: Bulldog Service Announcement

With so many recent reports of LOST, MISSING, and STOLEN English and French Bulldogs across the country we wanted to share some helpful tips to keep your dogs safe!

Microchip your dog and make sure it is registered with updated information.
Do not leave your dog unattended in your yard and make sure it is fully enclosed and secure with locks on the gates.
Consider installing a home security system if you do not have one.
Do not leave your dog outside a shop on their own or in a car alone.
Be aware of your surroundings when walking your dog and vary the time. Walk routes you know so that you can make your way home or back to your car quickly if needed.
If your dog is stolen contact your local law enforcement immediately. Alert local vets, animal shelters, rescue organizations, and get the word out on social media.
Ensure your dog is spayed or neutered. Your dog will be of no value to breeders, plus there are many positive health benefits for your dog.
Check references on dog walkers and sitters and consider doing a background check.

Spring Is Here—And So Are The Mosquitoes!

We are often asked why applications for adoption are declined. And while there are many reasons, one of the most often and most unnecessary is a lack of heartworm prevention with current dogs. For some reason people just have not gotten the message about its importance.

Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal disease in pets in the United States and many other parts of the world. It is caused by foot-long worms (heartworms) that live in the heart, lungs and associated blood vessels of affected pets, causing severe lung disease, heart failure and damage to other organs in the body. Heartworm disease affects dogs, cats and ferrets, but heartworms also live in other mammal species, including wolves, coyotes, foxes, sea lions and—in rare instances—humans. Because wild species such as foxes and coyotes live in proximity to many urban areas, they are considered important carriers of the disease.

Please don't assume that your dog will be “lucky" and escape the bite of a mosquito infected with heartworm larvae! It is so easy and very cost effective to ensure your dog takes his heartworm preventative regularly. Heartworms in dogs are easy to prevent, but difficult and costly to cure. For less than the cost of a regular trip to Starbucks you can prevent heartworm disease in your dog. There are monthly pills, monthly topicals that you put on the skin, and there’s also a six-month injectable product. One treatment for a dog infected with heartworms can cost about the same as 6-7 years of prevention. This cost of prevention does not take into consideration the associated health risks experienced by an infected dog.

Heartworm disease has been reported in all 50 states. And the bite of just one mosquito infected with the heartworm larvae will give your dog heartworm disease.

So don't count on being “lucky" please use a preventative regularly—it is for the health and longevity of your dog. He or she depends on you to ensure their continued good health.
