About Tony

Tony is a high-energy dog who is feeling the strain of kennel life and needs a home where he can put his zest for life to good use. He's previously lived with children and did well, though his boundless energy means he could accidentally knock small kids over. Tony was found as a stray a few years ago and, despite an attempt at family life, his exuberance proved more than his adopters could handle. He needs an active person or family who can keep up with him and provide regular exercise and structure. Tony should be the only pet in the home, as he does not get along with other dogs or cats. If you’re ready for a goofy, athletic companion who just wants a shot at the good life, Tony's waiting in Pottsville, PA. Adoption fee is sponsored. Click apply to start the adoption process.
