Story

I came across Tyson while I was walking my two dogs.I took Tyson to the vet to see if he was chipped and he was so they took my info. I week later the owner contacted me and said she did not want the dog anymore. Tyson is 10 years old and is up to date on his vaccines. He loves to cuddle and follow you around. I wish I could keep him but I have my elderly mom that does not see very well and keeps tripping on him. He has lots of energy like a puppy but he also knows when I'm tired he lays next to me in bed.
