My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:


Tyson will be 4 years old on 8/9/24. His owner is unable to care for him and he has been neglected. He was diagnosed with heart disease (dilated cardiomyopathy) at 1 year old and has activity restrictions, but his condition is well-controlled on medication. His life span will be shorter due to this. He has Trupanion pet insurance that covers 90% of the cost of his medications and sick visits (insurance is transferrable). He has allergies and some behavioral issues (very crate aggressive, but will get into the trash and eat things if out of the crate unsupervised; he is a good boy once you let him out of the crate). Tyson was not properly trained or socialized as a puppy. He was great with a newborn/infant and gets along with other dogs. He can be mouthy when begging for attention, but is loyal, smart, and just wants to be loved. He is aggressive at the vet, but does well with medications for visits. He will be put to sleep if he cannot be rehomed within the week.
