My story

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

Tyson is named after the brand behind his favorite treat- chimken!! Just kidding, we don’t know who or what he’s named after- he’ll still take some nuggets though! Tyson is a lovable pup who really deserves a stable forever home. He’s bounced around a bit and is hopeful to find his forever home soon!

During a brief adoption Tyson did well with young kids and was both housebroken and crate trained. His former people said that he loves hiking and swimming and described him as affectionate, playful, smart, and loving. He knows tricks and is treat- motivated. While he loves to play, he can be a bit of a couch potato too. Tyson is always at your side and loves to stick close to his humans.

During a short holiday foster vacation Tyson did well with older kids, was a quiet houseguest, and was again housebroken. He loved to play with balls and anything that squeaks. His foster described him as a well- mannered, cuddly couch potato who walks well on leash.

During his most recent shelter vacation Tyson did well with the resident dogs- even a big old 90-pound lab mix! He was housebroken (as usual) and was described as smart, playful, and generally calm. He also loved playing tug o’ war and is a big fan of chew toys. Tyson showed his fosters all of his tricks (sit, shake and down) and that he’s eager to learn more!

Here’s what volunteers at the shelter have said about Tyson:

“We had Tyson and kennelmate in the play yard and Tyson was an absolute delight. He had a lot of energy and just ran and ran and ran. His kennelmate would chase after him and it was very cute to watch. Tyson came when called (seems to know his name), had a nice sit, gave paw when asked, took his treats very gently and made good eye contact. Wonderful dog for an active family.”

“Today I took Tyson to a play yard. He was playful with his kennelmate in the yard. He took breaks and was affectionate with her which was super cute. He`s an active and fun guy!”

“Tyson is a friendly guy, greeting me affectionately when I entered his kennel. A polite walker with gorgeous fluffy fur!”

Tyson has shared his kennel with other PACC pups and has been tolerant and independent when meeting other dogs in playgroup- he warmed up quickly and was playful with the other pups. He’d like to meet any resident dogs before heading home to make sure it’s a good fit. Ask to meet Tyson today!!
