Biography

Tony was originally found as a stray in Pittsboro, NC.  We have no known history before he got to us. He has quite a story to tell, and we're going to let Tony do the talking!

Well, I can't speak human so I can't tell them my history, but I'll tell you why I'll probably be here forever. You see, I'd be a great lap dog, but they tell me I bark too much. I don't see it. Is it wrong to voice my opinions! What can I say! So, I'm opinionated and will voice those opinions. I mean if they want me to do something and I don't want to do it, I'll let them know. 

Anyway, I'm ALL bark. Yeah and sometimes a little bite. Sometimes barking is the only way to get attention here because there isn't a human for each of us dogs (there are more dogs than just me onsite). They say I'm an attention hound. Well, who doesn't like to be noticed?

I do love my next-door neighbor and best friend Barnabas, though. We get along great and play together a lot. He bunks in the run next to me. 

The folks here believe I won't ever get into a forever home because I bark too much and sometimes I nibble a bit on them. Hey - there is there anything wrong with not being crazy about ALL the people ALL the time?  I mean, are you?  But maybe if I was in a home without another dog and got all my human's attention I'd not bark so much? Anyway, that's my big dream, to find a forever home as an only dog who will understand that sometimes I choose a bit of violence (verbal and otherwise) to express my opinion. I'll keep dreaming about it, but I know I'll probably be here forever and that is okay. This place isn't so bad.  The food is free, the humans carry treats and Barnabas and I hang out and are bros.  Really, what else do I need?  Well, there is something.  

So, guys please, I really need you to be my hero and sponsor me. It will keep my treats flowing (I LOVE treats!) as well as provide me warm blankets in the winter and A/C in the long hot summer, clean water, good food, and medical care if and when I need it. Please just don't have them buy a leash for me! I HATE those things!!!  Thanks so much to all my heroes who donate! You're the best!

Sponsorship

Can’t have a dog of your own? Have a soft spot for old, sick, or hard-to-place dogs? It only takes a $20 a month donation for me to be your virtual dog!  I need at least 10 virtual adopters (sponsors) to help cover my monthly costs.  If I have medical challenges I need even more!  The caregivers at Carolina Poodle Rescue will do the rest.  Just think, without ever having to leave your home, you can have your very own online dog that will send you update emails, make Facebook posts, and be eternally grateful for your support!  Go to the donate link at the top of the page for instructions as to how to donate. Questions? Email: cprsosdogs@carolinapoodlerescue.org

I LOVE MY Virtual Adopters! TONY IS LOOKING FOR HIS VIRTUAL FAMILY!
