Tyson's Story

** staff favorite!<br/><br/>Tyson is 2 1/2 years old and a muscular 55 pounds, neutered & fully vetted!<br/><br/>Tyson definitely has some kind of bully dog in his lineage. And we are pretty confident he also has working dog, perhaps Malinois or Dutch Shepherd. <br/><br/>He's a great combination with a beautiful, dark brindle, swirly, sleek single coat!<br/><br/>He is a regular at Camp Merricks for day camp 3 times a week and they report that he has the drive and personality of those working breeds. <br/>Tyson is bigger than most pit bulls and leaner than Am Staffs. <br/><br/>There isn't a lot of shedding with this boy. He is VERY capable and VERY interested in learning. <br/>He loves balls and will do almost anything for them. He will even carry his toys on walks if you let him.<br/><br/>While at Camp, Tyson has learned so much about being a great dog! <br/>Tyson ISN'T a "couch hippo". <br/><br/>He's a well mannered athlete looking for a family that wants to play and enjoy life together.<br/><br/>Tyson is good with dogs, but mostly female dogs, even pushy ones. He has a rougher play style, but it's not ever been inappropriate and he responds to correction. <br/><br/>We cat tested him and was a bit too interested in them so cats are a NO go in his new home. <br/>Tyson is truly a great dog with a brilliant smile just waiting to be discovered.<br/><br/>He lived with children in his previous home.<br/><br/>To apply please go to:<br/>www.amherstanimalshelter.org/adopt
