Casey and Tonka have been with ACCAS since February 6th of this year. They are part of a cruelty case and have been sitting in the shelter all of this time.
Both Casey and Tonka love people and are very happy go lucky. Due to their history, they both need to be the only animals in the home and until they go to a trainer for an evaluation, they will be Rescue Only and not available for adoption.

We have cared for these boys and we have fallen in love with them. Now we get to fight to find them homes.

Update 11/16: I’ve been walking by Casey and Tonka’s kennels for months tossing them treats and saying a few words to them, but today was the first day I got to spend some time with them in an interaction pen. They are part of a cruelty case, but now that they have been surrendered, volunteers can take them out. I can’t imagine the life they’ve endured, but today they liked being outside enjoying a sunny day.

When I asked a supervisor about Casey, she said was that he’s a ball of energy and a happy-go-lucky guy. I also learned that he loves tennis balls. He was thrilled when I pulled one out and threw it for him though I suggest that you play with several balls because Casey likes to hold on to them. Casey loves tennis balls and people, but he’s reactive to other dogs, so at this time, both he and his brother are only available to rescues. Casey and Tonka have a new beginning. I hope it leads to new lives filled with love and good times.

Casey is heartworm negative!

Update 2/10/21: Tonka and Casey are the longest-term dogs at the Athens-Clarke County Animal Services shelter.

These boys came in to the shelter in February 2020 in bad condition--Tonka needed about a month of constant vet care and bandage changes for his wounds to heal. They both would do best in homes where they are the only dogs--their past treatment has made them reactive to other dogs. (We are prosecuting their former owners for cruelty.)
