Meet Tonita — an affectionate 8-year-old girl with soulful eyes, a loving heart, and a spark that makes her seem much younger than her years. While she may be a senior on paper, Tonita still has a fiery little spirit and plenty of enthusiasm for life. Tonita is housetrained and happiest when she’s close to her people. Whether she’s joining you for a leisurely walk or curled up beside you on the couch, she simply wants to be near the ones she loves. Belly rubs and treats are the fastest way to her heart, and she has an adorable begging pose with her front paws whenever she’s hoping for a snack or some extra attention. She has an excitement for adventures and loves going outside, exploring, and even swimming with a little assistance. One of Tonita’s sweetest qualities is how much she enjoys other dogs — especially small dogs and puppies, whom she’s always eager to greet them. Tonita is the perfect mix of gentle couch potato and spirited companion, and she’s ready to spend her golden years loving someone with her whole heart.

About Best Friends Animal Society

Best Friends is working to end the killing of dogs and cats in U.S. shelters in part by getting more pets out of shelters and into loving homes.

We’ve come a long way since the first known city reached no-kill in 1994, and now we’re closer than ever to making the entire country no-kill. Of the roughly 3,900 shelters operating in America today, 1,300 of them are not yet no-kill, but nearly half are close with 100 or fewer additional pets to be saved, and we know what to do to get them there.

Best Friends is committed to working with passionate people like you to save homeless pets through adoption, volunteering, fostering, and advocacy. In addition to our lifesaving centers around the U.S, we also founded and run the nation's largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals.

Working together, we can save homeless pets in our communities and secure a better future for our best friends. Together, we will bring the whole country to no-kill.
