UPDATE 5/14/2026: Fat Tony is continuing to train with his trainer Morgan. He is learning new people are not scary as well as learning how to handle his big feelings. He has been started on anxiety medication to help him process those big feelings. He is a complete love bug at home. He loves sitting with his person and watching TV.
Fat Tony will need a patient home. He will need to continue the foundational training he is currently learning. His trainer Morgan is more than happy to give you a free lesson (or two) when you adopt him. He just needs someone to give him a chance.
UPDATE: Fat Tony is currently in a Board and Train program at Arf Limits working on his leash aggression and behavior. Watch our website for updates and videos on his progression.
Fat Tony is new in rescue. He is a 3 year old, 12 pound, Maltese (mix). He is perfect in every way except one...he doesn't like other dogs...his "inner Brooklyn" starts to show... In all seriousness, he does not like other dogs and is very reactive on leash when he meets other dogs. He will need to be in an adult only home as an only dog and a fence will be required for adoption. A privacy fence would be ideal.
Fat Tony just wants to be with his people. He is sweet and affectionate in his foster home.
If you want a lap dog who does not require walking, he is your man!
For more information please email his foster mom and follow us on our social media channels.
