About Tony

Meet Tony, a gentle 1.5-year-old Border Collie/Heeler mix with a heart eager for love. He and his brother Ezekiel were discovered at a campground, a bit skinny and nervous about the world. Thankfully, they found their way to Pet Savers, where they are learning to trust and embrace the good in people. Tony may be shy initially, but give him a moment, and his sweet nature shines through. He's currently working on socialization and getting ready for his forever home. It's important for his future family to understand that he might need a brief adjustment period, but the love he offers in return is genuine and loyal. Tony is already scheduled for a vet check and neutering soon, but he's excited to start meeting potential adopters. If you’re looking for a loving companion who will warm your heart, apply today and see if you could be the family he’s been waiting for.
