**Tumba is with a loving foster in the Lawrenceville, NJ area.  If interested, please fillout our application. ***

Tumba and his five siblings came into our rescue as owner surrenders and at a very young age, approx 7-8 weeks. There former owner, we later discovered, was an unlicensed (or backyard) breeder in our area and also rumored to have been involved in dog fighting in some aspect, most likely selling their pups to known participants of that cruel and inhumane, not to mention illegal, practice. None of the pups had received any of their required de-wormings or vaccinations and we could easily tell that they were loaded with parasites and worms. The owner initially insisted on keeping one of the pups but after we pointed out the lack of care they had been given and that they looked rather sickly, we were able to convince the owner to also surrender that pup as well. While we immediately started the pups on their basic care, within days they started to display signs of a much more serious illness, which was confirmed to be Parvo. Under the guidance of our vet’s office, we were able to treat the pups in-house and managed to save four of the six, loosing the two smallest of the litter. Tumba and his three remaining siblings made a full recovery and are now very healthy.

Tumba is the rowdiest, most mischievous of his litter, and is always wanting to play. He's fearless, tough as nails but also extremely affectionate and very well socialized towards people. He will make a great companion for anyone seeking a confident and playful pup. 

Tumba has now received his first year “puppy” vaccinations, been de-wormed, treated against parasites and started on his monthly preventatives. His adopter will agree to having Tiumba neutered once he reaches 6 months of age and provide verification to our rescue. He will require all of her basic training.
