The 2-year-old poodle-Shih Tzu mix became an instant celebrity online after his photos went viral earlier this week. Netizens were buzzing about his facial features, how they resemble that of a human being.

Homeward Bound Animal Welfare Group, which rescued the dog from being put down, is now accepting applications from people who can provide Tonik a new home.

"It seems he has not had too much socialization. He is great with other dogs. He is not dangerous, but should not be placed with young children because he will get too overwhelmed. He will need a home with lots of patience & good energy," reads Tonik's Petfinder profile.

The dog with human face, whose approximate birth date is February 1, 2011, weighs 11 pounds and is up to date on all shots. 

"He has been vet. checked, neutered, micro chipped, heart worm tested negative is up to date on routine shots & wormings including rabies & has been treated with advantage multi per our protocol. He has been pro. groomed since his photos were taken."

The group is asking for an adoption donation of $250 and does not allow shipping or transport. Interested individuals can visit the group's website for more details about the adoption process.
