My story

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

WEIGHT: 73lbs.

Meet Tony- If you are looking for a big ol' goofball of a dog with giraffe legs and a stand out personality, look no further than our boy Tony. Tony is firmly in his teenage years and it shows. He is very into people and is up for pretty much anything so long as he can bound around and show off. He does well on leash, is good with other dogs, and is a complete gentleman with kids. Tony (who needs a better name, btw) came to us from a partner shelter where he was dropped off as an owner surrender. In his previous home, he was an outside dog, so he is looking for adopters that will bear with him while he learns the house rules. You know, basic things like: counters are not for dogs, please don't spill your water bowl everywhere, trash stays in the trash can etc etc. Shelter staff feel confident that once he gets into a routine with basic positive reinforcement training and learns how to dog, he will be an excellent addition to an active outdoorsy household. Because of his size, history, and the fact that he loves laying out in the sun, a home with an outdoor space would be a bonus. If you would like to come and meet him, feel free to call our adoptions desk or stop by during Browsing Hours: Wed-Sun 11-5.

Additional adoption info

In response to COVID-19, and the current social distancing rules, all of our animals are now being housed in foster homes and our adoption procedures have changed. Please read the following ADOPTION STEPS on our website for further details!

**Please Note: Most of our adoptions are beginning with a foster-to-adopt period, and because of this, we are temporarily unable to consider applications from households outside the counties of: Santa Cruz, San Benito, San Mateo, Santa Clara, and Monterey.

If you rent, please have a copy of your lease or a letter from your landlord that states you can have a pet(s) ready.

If you’re adopting a dog, introduce your future friend to any other dogs in the family (dog adoptions only).
