Tony's previous family dumped him off at a shelter for the crime of "getting old"! And it wasn't a no-kill shelter, either. It's true that Tony is more than 12 years old, and he has to take a little heart medication. But he's a cairn terrier and only 16 pounds. Dogs that size can live a very long time!

Tony is very quiet—not a yapper at all. He's good with other dogs that are nice and gentle, like he is. He'd love to have a home with a doggie door for frequent access to the outside, and no super-small kids.
