Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Tony Stark
Super smart, high energy, loving and playful - he's all that and more! If you're looking for a sidekick to share your active lifestyle, Tony Stark would love to meet you.
A kind person found this scared pup when he was dumped on a country road in Central Washington in summer 2023, They asked us to find him a great forever home ... and he's been in our care ever since.
Tony really likes people. He is friendly and polite to adults and older kids. He hasn't been exposed to young children while in our care, and he may be a little bouncy for timid or very small children, but would probably do well with kids who are kind and understand good manners around dogs.
He shares his foster home with several dogs and does well with them. He's playful and friendly with well-mannered dogs. However, he is not safe with cats or other small prey animals.
This agile, athletic boy has loads of energy and enjoys life to the last drop - especially hikes and playtime. He would probably be a great companion even on challenging hikes, or to cheer you on during your daily run or bike ride. But once he's had his daily workout and had an opportunity to use his brain, he's the best snuggle-buddy, with a plush, soft coat that's a delight to pet.
Tony needs a human who will love that he's very smart and highly trainable, because he really, really loves to learn. This is not a dog who can spend the rest of his life hanging out in your backyard; he's exceptionally smart, and is looking for someone who is interested in advanced training, or who enjoys plenty of stimulating hikes, games and adventures.
He enjoys rough-housing with friendly dogs of compatible size, hanging out with his human, exploring new places, learning new things, playing chase, chomping down on bones and chews, and figuring out puzzle games. He needs a secure yard - although he doesn't go over fences, he will open doors and gates if they're not well secured. However, he doesn't wander - he's just curious about what's out there.
Generally Tony is quiet (apart from excited play-growls). He may bark when someone comes to the door or if he sees something suspicious.
Tony's house manners are generally good. He's polite, he's house-trained and crate-trained, and he waits for an invitation before he gently jumps up to give you a hug. However he's young and he does have a few bad habits. He'll chew when bored - and if you don't provide something he wants to chew, he'll find something he likes.
His recall is excellent, and he walks well on a leash. He knows a lot of commands, including sit, stay, come, back up, wait, leave it, kennel, outside, inside, load up, let's go, spin and shake.
Tony has been neutered, microchipped, treated for external and internal parasites, and is up to date on vaccinations. His estimated date of birth is 6/15/2023, and he weighs around 55 lbs.
