Tony Schiavone Flies Across the U.S. to Adopt a Rescue Dog
AEW commentator Tony Schiavone has made headlines outside of the wrestling world after a KIRO-TV report detailed his cross-country journey to adopt a rescue dog from Motley Zoo Animal Rescue shelter in Washington state.
Schiavone first became interested when AEW wrestler Saraya brought a Chihuahua-beagle mix to an AEW event, capturing Schiavone's attention. Upon learning the dog's origin, Schiavone contacted Motley Zoo when AEW was in the Seattle area. Although the initial dog he inquired about was already adopted, Schiavone remained committed to finding a similar rescue.
Before finding his special dog, Schiavone and his wife adopted a beagle from a rescue organization in Atlanta. However, Schiavone did not give up his pursuit of the Chihuahua-beagle mix. He ultimately flew to Seattle using frequent flyer miles, took an Uber to the shelter, and successfully adopted a dog he named 'Dobby.'
Demonstrating his commitment to animal welfare, Schiavone also makes monthly donations to the Motley Zoo animal rescue shelter.
