About this Dog

Tony is a 5.5 (est.) year old male Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix. We recently adopted Tony from the Arizona Border Collie Rescue who took him in from a shelter in Utah. No one knows how or why Tony ended up at the Utah shelter, but was fully trained when he arrived there. Tony is fully vaccinated, potty trained (can use doggy door, but prefers for you to let him out), knows several tricks (sit, [lay] down, sit pretty [beg], speak, shake, and wait [stay]). Tony loves to play fetch and will return the thrown toy to you over and over. He is very smart, loyal, expressive and intuitive. Tony loves a belly rub, popping balloons, and putting his face in the sprinklers. He does not bark unless someone knocks/rings. He is very food motivated and easily trainable. He loves to lick his people and lay with (on) his people. He’s about a 7 out of 10 on a leash. He sniffs/marks a lot and will pull on the leash if he has seen birds and/or rabbits in a certain spot; otherwise, he just trots along. Tony will resource guard his food and treats from other dogs and people. Aside from resource guarding his food, Tony does get along with and likes to play with other dogs. He will also resource guard his people and territory from other people, which is, unfortunately, the only reason we cannot keep him. Tony also has a history of biting and nipping. If you do something he does not like (shove him off the furniture, grab his collar, brush his hair, etc.), he will nip you. If you continue to do the things he does not like after he’s warned you, he will bite. He has been aggressive with our teenage daughter, teenage son and son-in-law. However, he is just fine with me and my husband. He even allows me to kiss him when we’re playing tug of war with his toys. Tony is muzzle and crate trained. He is a very happy dog and if we didn’t have children living at home, we would absolutely keep him. He will be sorely missed. Tony also comes with “Bark Busters” dog training.

Adopt Tony and Receive Dogecoin

Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Tony's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised. Dogecoin is digital currency that can be exchanged for cash, traded, or held as an investment (see the "What is Dogecoin" section below).

How will Tony receive the Dogecoin?


The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. If you adopted the Tony, thank you for providing a home and a loving family! Please begin the process of claiming Tony's Dogecoin here.


For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the Dogecoin by submitting the necessary information.


The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Tony was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Tony’s Dogecoin balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.




What is Dogecoin?


"The fun and friendly internet currency."
Dogecoin sets itself apart from other digital currencies with an amazing, vibrant community made up of friendly folks just like you. Dogecoin is a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency that enables you to easily send money online.
Learn more about it on youtube or at dogecoin.com.




What happens to unclaimed funds?


We want the Tony’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Tony’s balance will remain in our general Dogecoin fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
