Tony is a little Yorkie with a big spirit who has brought joy, love, comfort, and laughter to everyone who knows him. He is also a steadfast service dog for his mom, Nancy, who found her soulmate in this tiny dog. Nancy and Tony met by chance in Brooklyn, NY, in 2018, where Tony was being fostered by a woman also named Nancy. They ran into each other on the street, talked about dogs, and the rest is history. Big little Tony has seen Nancy and his many friends through the ups and downs of life for the past seven years. He loves cuddles, chicken, running after squeaky toys, barking ferociously at them, and sniffing the breeze. He has lived a full, adventurous life and is loved profoundly.

Now, Tony and Nancy are facing the difficult decisions that everyone who loves a pet must face as the end of their life. Tony has a large mass on his spleen, which may be malignant, as well as a number of smaller masses around his other organs. Veterinary care costs are high, and Tony deserves the medical care he needs to make the last chapter of his life peaceful and his transition to the next one as loving and comfortable as possible. All donations will go towards palliative veterinary care and end-of-life expenses as needed.
