shelter comments:
Our director immediately fell in love with Tyson. ❤️ From the moment she saw this big, scared boy shaking in his kennel, there was just something about him. Tyson came to us as a stray, and the first few hours in the shelter have been overwhelming for him.
With a little patience, kindness, and reassurance, Tyson finally found the courage to stop shaking and is opening up. Now he's learning that the shelter'and the people in it'aren't so scary after all.
And don't let his looks fool you! Tyson may be big and look tough, but he's really just a big baby. 🥹Behind that tough exterior is a sweet boy who just needed someone to show him he was safe. ❤️

See what a day looks like for this sweet 8-years-young guy'and, more importantly, get to know the dog behind the kennel door. Tyson has quickly become the talk of the shelter, winning people over with his easygoing, sweet personality. He's simply an all-around GREAT dog. ❤️
Everyone seems to be talking about Tyson, and once you spend a little time with him, it's easy to understand why. He may do best as the only dog in the home, as we know he can be a little iffy with other male dogs, but this special guy has so much to offer the right family.
❤️ Tyson will be available for adoption Thursday, 8/13! Watch his video, share his story, and come meet the dog everyone at the shelter is talking about. Let's turn Tyson's day in the shelter life into a day in his HOME life.
