About Antonio (45kg)
Meet Big Boof Head Antonio, Tony for short
Not only handsome, he is confident, sweet, well natured and a complete couch potatoe
Tony enjoys doing not much of much, If you are looking for a dog that is happy to laze around the yard, a short daily walk and collapsing on the lounge floor expecting you to walk around him, then look no further.
Tony is well mannered, enjoys a ride in the car. Knows how to sit, wait for his dinner and walks exceptionally well on the lead for such a large dog. He is house trained and crate trained, sleeping through the night usually upside down.
He doesn't jump and is a joy and pleasure to have around. He really is an old soul in a young dogs body.
He has a big dog bark to let you know someone has arrived but will greet visitors with a big smiley face and whole body wag.
Tony lives in the mayhem of a multi pet house hold with absolutely no concerns, he enjoys the company of his foster siblings but really has not a care in the world for other dogs in his home. He would be just as happy by himself. Tony tolerates his young and full on foster siblings in his home environment. But really does not want a home that wants to take him down the park for a romp with the young hooligans. He doesn't appreciate rude introductions or dogs that will jump all over him and get in his face,. A quiet relaxed and chilled out life style is what Tony is looking for. He prefers his humans company to that of other dogs. If Tony's new home had an existing dog, he would need a chilled out female companion.
Tony is not suitable to a home with livestock, post pets or cats.
Tony has no concerns hanging out in the yard while his foster family works and loves to bring you the closest things he can find as a sign of his love for you when you get home. Tony loves soft toys and often wanders around with them in his mouth.
Tony has meet young children with no concerns, but we believe a home with children 12 years and over would suit best.
Tony is a beautiful big dog looking for a loving forever home, if you have large dog experience and are looking for your new best mate or family member, please send a brief description of the home you can provide and we will send you an adoption application form. Antonio is located in whittlesea for meet and greets.
Medical notes
Tony is desexed

Tony arrived with a blocked tear duct that was flushed during his anesthetic when he was desexed. It has blocked again since. Our vets have suggested flushing again if he requires another procedure. We use chlorsig drops (cheap & over the counter from the chemist) a couple of times a week to eliminate inflammation and irritation.
Adoption details

You will receive an adoption application form within 24 hours of your inquiry being sent

Please provide photos of your yard including sheltered area from sun and rain
#4 Meet & greet - With other dog/s if you have any -
You will receive an email within 72 hours of sending your application in which will let you know if your application has been successful. We will then organise a meet and greet.
*PLEASE NOTE*: Not all applications are successful. We aim to match our animals to their perfect homes, sometimes there are many homes suitable but unfortunately only one animal.
Organized MEET AND GREETS do not guarantee the adoption of our of our animals. Eden Ark have the final say in the meet and greet process, If we feel our animal will not suit your family the trial period will not go ahead.
#5 A 7 day trial period -
If your meet is successful we ask that you have everything ready to take your new family member home that day. if this isn't possible, prior arrangement MUST be made - please understand we are not in a position to hold animals for you. Meet and greets are on weekends only, unless prior arrangement has been made. Please note your meet and greet will be organised the first weekend available from an approved application, we try our best to accomodate but again we can not hold animals.
Adoption fee must be paid in cash on the day if your meet and greet is successful to start your 7 day trial period.
Once your 7 day trial period is complete,
