This 63-pound “Velcro dog” manages to both keep you company and greet you at the door with a toy every time, ready for action.

Tony takes pride in his spotless record as a houseguest: fully house trained, crate trained (and sees his crate as a luxury suite), never causing trouble. He’s clever, keen to please, and loaded with tricks. Commands like “sit,” “down,” “stay,” and a dozen more come naturally. His energy sits right in the sweet spot—down for a walk or hike, just as happy lounging. Tony wants a fenced yard for his daily hose games and patrols but knows when it’s time to chill indoors. Though he hasn’t officially met cats, the foster suggests a trial sleepover might win him over to feline friends. He thrives on being part of a team and makes every day a little lighter, starting with his signature happy "awoo" at breakfast time. Tony is the dog who adapts once he settles in, quickly becoming the loyal companion and clever, gentle sidekick every family hopes for. Ready to make that spot on your couch a little warmer?
