Tony (Foster)

Our Collie, Tony, is about 5 years old and is a quiet soul who needs a home in the countryside. He reacts badly to urban settings, is fearful of traffic and crowds and approaching dogs. He is not too interested in play although he will engage when there’s a small rubber ball involved. Tony seems content just to have his basic needs met. He was initially a little wary of some (but not all) of our male volunteers, which usually indicates a past bad experience, but he seems to have overcome this now. He is quite happy to head off on his walks (on the lead) with our volunteers but gets anxious when returning to the main busy section of our Shelter as all the other dogs are out and making noise. He has received some training at the Shelter and we are working on helping Tony overcome his fears.

Life in busy kennels is not suiting Tony so he is currently residing in our Kitchen and we find him to be very happy and content there. He is really enjoying all the company of our volunteers coming in and out to him throughout the day. An enclosed garden will be sufficient for his exercise needs so Tony will not require lots of walking. We feel he will make an excellent companion dog and we would like Tony to find a quiet, rural home where he possibly would be the only dog in the home, although a successful meet and greet with a resident dog is also an option.

Tony has been neutered, microchipped 972274200487688, vaccinated and has received the usual preventative worm/flea treatment. If not interested in adopting Tony, we will be happy for him to be permanently fostered for his lifetime where we will cover his main expenses throughout his lifetime and will provide any equipment/support required.
