Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Houston, Texas

Meet Tony, a testament to resilience and the power of second chances.

Tony had a rough start in life, having been abandoned and found starving in the East Texas Piney Woods. But Tony has forgotten about his past and become a loving and happy boy who just wants to bring joy and loyalty to his forever family.

Tony enjoys the simple routines of daily life and doesn't need grand adventures to make him happy. His foster mom describes Tony as curious, affectionate, smart, and quiet, with a funny and entertaining personality, especially when he tries to imitate her Border Collie catching a ball! (See video.) Tony loves nothing more than being with his human, whether it's helping with chores or simply snuggling on the couch for a movie. He gets along well with the other dogs in his foster home and wants to snuggle with all of them! (See photos.) Tony has also shown a nurturing side, as he always keeps a watchful eye on the young foster puppies. (See photo.)

Tony is a unique mix of breeds, with a stocky body, large paws, and a Catahoula-like head, making him One-Of-A-Kind! With an estimated birth date of 5/1/2025, Tony is around a year old and weighs 49 lbs. He is expected to remain a medium-sized dog. Tony is microchipped, neutered, up-to-date on his shots, housebroken and uses a doggie door.

Tony is being fostered in East Texas. His adoption fee is $350.
