Tony is an adorable senior pup looking for a loving home. He is 13 years old and weighs 27 pounds, though he is overweight. Tony was surrendered to Vintage Pet Rescue in January after his elderly owner could no longer physically care for him. He is a very sweet, happy, older dog.
Tony has been living with a dozen other dogs and mostly keeps to himself. He will growl if a dog bumps into him or gets too close because he doesn’t want to be stepped on. With people, he is very sweet and will wag his tail and give kisses when approached.
Tony has arthritis and has trouble climbing stairs. He also does not like being picked up because of his joint pain, so he will need a home with minimal stairs. He is currently taking medication (gabapentin) for his arthritis. Shedding excess weight will also improve Tony's mobility and comfort.
At his recent vet visit, we treated an ear and eye infection. His lungs sound good, and there was no detectable heart murmur present. Prior records from his previous owner note a mass of fat on his heart and nodules on his liver.
Tony is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and recently had full bloodwork. If you're interested in adopting Tony, please complete an application at: https://www.vintagepetrescue.org/adopt

Additional adoption info
We only arrange meet and greets with pre-approved applicants.
The vast majority of the dogs we take in and post on our social media will be available for adoption at some point, but not everyone is ready to be adopted right away. We first need to get all of our dogs seen by our vet, treat any health issues, and/or schedule any procedures they may need. Once the dog does not need anything else from us medically, we will post them for adoption!

Vintage Pet Rescue is a Rhode Island based 501c3 non-profit. We protect and advocate for homeless senior dogs in need by providing cage-free sanctuary living for all of our rescue's residents, helping unwanted seniors find love in their final years through our adoption program, and increasing public awareness and interest in saving senior pets.
VPR was founded by Kristen and Marc Peralta (who met at an animal shelter in 2013). Their mutual love for senior dogs is the driving force behind our organization where we are committed to rescuing vintage (senior) dogs from shelters and assisting owners who can no longer care for their senior pets.
Kristen, Marc, and their team of volunteers make sure these animals are provided with love, attention, and medical care for the last months or years of their lives. To date, VPR has saved the lives of over 1,000 dogs.
