About me Hello, I'm Tony Bark. I'm a bit shy but once I get to know you, I'm the sweetest friend you could ask for. I've been practicing my 'sit' command, and I think I've got it down pretty well. I'm a bit of a homebody, preferring quiet evenings to wild adventures. I love to cuddle up with a good book, well, you'll read the book, I'll just enjoy your company. I'm also quite polite, always waiting my turn for treats and walks. Why should you adopt me? Because I promise to be the most loyal, loving companion you could ever wish for. I’d do best in a home where I'm the only dog My adoption fee is a bargain! Not only do you get my unconditional love and a new BFF, it includes my neuter surgery, vaccinations, microchip, and even some cool coupons!
