My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Tony D, a sweet, slightly shy 5-month-old terrier mix with a heart full of potential just waiting to shine. Tony D may not be the first dog to charge into a new situation, but with a little time and patience, he’s sure to blossom into an incredibly loyal and affectionate companion. He’s like a hidden treasure—quiet and reserved on the outside, but full of love and charm once he feels comfortable.

Tony D would do best in a calm, low-key home where he can take his time to adjust and build confidence. He’s still learning to trust the world around him, so a patient family who can provide gentle guidance and a stable environment is just what he needs. He’s the kind of dog that will flourish when he knows he’s safe, and with consistent positive reinforcement, he’ll come out of his shell and start to show his playful, loving side.

Once Tony D warms up, you’ll see his true personality emerge. He’s got a big heart, and he’ll form deep bonds with the people who are there to support him. Whether it’s curling up for a cozy cuddle or wagging his tail in excitement when he sees you, he’s sure to bring a special kind of joy to your life. He’s also got a playful streak, and as his confidence grows, he’ll become more and more comfortable showing you his fun-loving side.

Tony D is not just a dog in need of a home—he’s a loyal companion in the making, waiting for someone who can give him the time, space, and love to help him flourish. If you’re looking for a sweet, sensitive pup who will return your patience and care with endless affection, Tony D might just be the perfect match for you. With your support, this lovable little guy will become the confident, happy dog he’s meant to be. Are you ready to give Tony D the fresh start he’s been waiting for?
