My story

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

**Tyson is in a foster home and not at the kennel. Please apply at k9stray.com if interested in discussing Tyson further**

Meet Tyson, an amazing boy with a big heart and lots of love to give! He is estimated to be about 6 years old and weighs 66 pounds.

Tyson is such a friendly and playful pup with the most squishable big head and an adorable, attentive personality. He's people-oriented and intelligent, greeting you with his cute little waggy nubbin tail, there is nothing that will make you smile more! Tyson is great at picking up new commands too and already knows the basics like "sit", "wait", and "shake". He loves nothing more than a good cuddle and always wants to be by your side. Tyson is also very in tune with his handler and looking for leadership. An experienced adopter who knows how to instill leadership is just what he needs and a home where any children are at least 8 years old. Although he may be on the bigger side, this sweetie is a gentle giant who just wants to have a family of his own to love and to love him back.

One of our wonderful volunteers took Tyson home to foster him over the weekend, she found out so much about him:

People friendly and very polite
Dog friendly
Did so well for potty, no accidents in the house
Not crate trained (busts out of crate)
Not destructive if left out unattended
Loves the sprinkler
Loves to sleep near you(or with you)
Is part human and lays head on pillow
Seems to understand English well
Know sit, paw ,wait, where’s your bone?, outside?
Loves car rides
Loves treats.
Seems to know his name
Loves toys: bones, balls, stuffies and squeakers
Greets guests nicely
Pulls a bit on the leash but not too bad

If there is another nice doggy sibling in the home, Tyson would love to meet them. He has an intense but friendly approach with other dogs and seems to have solid dog to dog skills. He may be a rough player but likes to check in with you.

If you are interested in Tyson and are at least 21 years old, please come to our kennel during business hours, make an appointment, or fill out an application at k9stray.com and an adoption counselor will be in touch. We look forward to helping you find your new best friend!

*Please check your lease agreements for breed/weight restrictions prior to applying. We also do not do cat testing, so we do not know how a dog will do with cats. Not all dogs are available to go home on the same day you first meet.*
