Tonka is still a baby so he will need someone home with him during at least some of the day. Tonka is the sort of guy who LOVES his people. He'll happily trot along in your footsteps staring up at you like you're his whole world. He's a people guy. True to Husky form Tonka LOVES to learn (especially if it involves food) and is very eager to please - doing his very best to do what you ask (even if he doesn't always succeed). He will need a home where he will get the mental stimulation he needs - not just physical exercise. He has not met kids, a home with either no children or dog confident kids 10 + would be best. Tonka has met a dog savvy cat, other dogs, and goats. Due to his breed, we recommend an active, strong breed or Husky experienced home.

Tonka must be allowed to live inside the home so he can be a real member of the family

Tonka is a 9 week old, Lab x Husky, will likely be medium-large size when fully grown
