Meet Tony. He is a 4-year-old, orange and white, domestic short-haired mix who is ready to move on and find a family to call his own. Tony has been with the since the end of July and has proven to be a sweet boy.
Tony was returned to the shelter because the original adoptive family did not properly care for him, which led to fleas and severe teeth decay. Because his mouth was in so much pain, he wouldn’t eat so his teeth were pulled.
Today, Tony has no teeth, which isn’t much of a hindrance, but his diet of wet food must be maintained. He is a happy-go-lucky guy who likes to play and cuddle. Tony will do great with either a family or any adopter looking to rescue a friend.
