About Tony

Meet Tony: A priceless boy ready to blossom! True to his name, which means 'priceless' in Latin, Tony truly embodies that sentiment. He’s on a journey to leave behind a tough past and is eagerly seeking a family who appreciates just how valuable he is. Hailing from a hoarding situation at the Holmes County Pound, Tony is a Poodle mix, possibly with some Spaniel or Shih Tzu in the mix, and estimated to be between 1.5 to 2.5 years old. At first, he might seem a bit shy, but don’t let that fool you. This charming pup has a heart full of affection just waiting for the right person to help him shine. Patience is key; once he feels secure, he’ll shower you with gentle kisses and cozy lap cuddles. Tony would thrive in a calm, low-traffic home where he can feel safe, preferably with a securely fenced yard to explore. Although he currently weighs only 14.5 lbs, he aims to reach a healthier 17-18 lbs. This little gentleman requires regular grooming, and he handled his spa day like a pro. Tony is a diamond in the rough, showcasing that the most precious things in life often come with patience. He gets along well with dogs but isn't suited for homes with children.
