Tyson Boxer Arlington, VA

**Fostered in Arlington, VA**

I am Tyson the boxer, but my foster family calls me Spicy Ticey, because I add the spice life needs. If you have met a boxer before, you will already know a lot about me. I love to wrestle and play with my hands. I am happy, loyal, and a big cuddle bug. Another boxer owner found me wandering around the streets of Texas, and I had not been being taken care of. I came all the way up to Virginia to find my forever family.

I love, love, love the dogs and kids in my foster family. It is very much fun to share toys, have zoomies, and tumble around with my puppy friends. I would love a house with another busy dog, or people who like to play tug-of-war with me. I adore soft and squeaky toys, and good chewy toys. Sometimes I gently mouth on my fosters, but I am easily redirected and reminded I’m supposed to do that on toys.

Some of my special talents are:
? Standing up on my high legs to give you hugs or slow dance with you
? Always finding a space on your lap to cuddle, even if you think there is not enough space
? Going potty outside, and staying inside nicely even when my people are not home without causing any problems

Some areas where I’m still growing are:
? I’m gentle on a walk, until we see another dog or critter because I want to meet them and I just know they want to wrestle with me… Even if it’s a plastic bag. I need someone who will help redirect me when I’m on a leash and try to meet a potential new buddy.
? Staying in a crate. I do not like it in there! I have been so good out of the crate, that I would prefer not to use one.

If you love happy, silly, big snuggle bugs, you are going to think I’m the best dog ever. Let’s have a visit!
