Tyson
Hello, my name is Tyson. My animal id is #19033. I am a male brown brindle dog at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 2 years 6 months 1 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a owner surrender on 24-Jan-2018, with the surrender reason stated as animal behaviour – not house trained.
Tyson is at risk for medical reasons, having been diagnosed with Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex, which is contagious to other dogs. Behaviorally, we suggest that Tyson would be best suited to a dog experienced home.
Let’s get to know each other a bit more…
A volunteer writes: So handsome and clearly ready to make new friends, Tyson is easily leashed, gives me a big stand up hug, and out the door we go. He potties immediately, although his former owner says he’s not fully housetrained. Because he loves treats, he should be easy to train with positive reinforcement (aka lots of ‘good boy’ treats). Sweetly wagging his tail at some small dogs we passed, we know that Tyson lived respectfully with a small dog, and playfully with a cat! He doesn’t guard his things, can be nervous around strangers but warms up, and barks at fireworks. Tyson showed off his sit for a treat, jumped up on the bench to cuddle with me, and has done well in playgroups with females (as of this writing he has not been with males). Tyson’s world is a bit confusing right now, but he’s doing a great job of acclimating to his new environment. Of course, he’d do best in his new home with his new people. Come meet our handsome boy today.
My medical notes are…

IN SHELTER OBSERVATIONS:: Tyson has displayed warning behaviors in his kennel towards novel people (barking, distance increasing), but once outside of his kennel and provided adequate time to acclimate, displays highly social behavior. He will solicit attention and petting from handlers and take treats in a gentle manner. When exploring the yard he will return and check in with handlers, sitting close by and leaning in with soft body and soft eyes.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: EXPERIENCE (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with the behaviors outlined below)
Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable
Potential challenges: : Social hyperarousal,Kennel presence
Potential challenges comments:: Social hyperarousal: Tyson is quick to mount people’s legs, as reported by his owner and also seen at the care center. Positive reinforcement, force-free training should be used to teach Tyson to remain calm when people and other exciting things are around. He should be reward with treats when calm. If he escalates to mounting, people should immediately walk away from and separate themselves from Tyson. Kennel presence: In his kennel, Tyson growls when approached but is social once outside of the kennel. While we cannot be certain if this behavior will appear in any other contexts, in highly emotionally charged or stressful environments Tyson may show behavior similar to what she is currently demonstrating in her kennel. We recommend potential adopters be comfortable managing this behavior and keeping themselves safe in any similar future situations.

I’d like to jackslap the owner from here to eternity. Dumping your dog because you say not house trained. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? the owner is lower than pond scum and I wish I could tell them that. Tyson is beautiful… look at that face. Some people should not be walking this earth. This is tragic. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY DOGS DIE EVERY DAY WHEN THERE ARE 8 MILLION PEOPLE IN NEW YORK. DO NEW YORKERS NOT KNOW DOGS ARE NEEDLESSLY KILLED EACH DAY.??? WHEN WILL NEW YORKERS WAKE UP!!!
Tyson’s owner has been referred to the CID as Tyson shows evidence of cruelty…such as failing to feed Tyson. Tyson is a cute 2.5 year old brindle who is becoming more socialized at AC. The assessor and owner documented hyperarousal behaviour most likely caused by stress abd anxiety like PTSD.
Time for a change of pace for Tyson…a new home with a foster who will work with him. Every dog should have the chance to be happy.
I am glad to hear that. I wonder if they dumped the other dog and cat he lived with. Just darn tragic for this gorgeous dog.
Wondered about their status as well. He is a very good looking dog, a very light caramel brindle.
Tyson was probably in the yard and not allowed in the house that’s why he ain’t house trained! makes total sense cause in cage growls n keeps distance like dog would protect his yard but when out of kennel Tyson is fine! Read between the lines! So sad underweight and accepts all treats!! U can see ribcage n boney hips!
Probably never seen toys so wasn’t interested! He needs to be neutered n FED WELL n have a loving home and comfy bed! Only 2 years old! At least he has videos! Share / foster/ adopt pleezzz!

This owner should be investigated immediately! Tyson is a 2 year old underweight male dog that was abused and then left at a KILL shelter! Please save him and give him a loving and forever home!
Did I read that owner surrender reason right???? Not housetrained??? Whose job is that….hmmmm, the owner. This poor fella was not properly cared for at all. Tyson is simply adorable and definitely deserves to know what it feels like to be part of a loving family, and be loved, cared for and valued. He deserves it! Let’s get it going strong for sweet Tyson! Praying and sharing with lots of love and hope. #SaveTyson 🐾💙🙏🏻
If we could reverse the roles for a day….
Tyson: Hi, my name is Tyson. I’m here to surrender my owner.
ACC Intake: No problem. What’s the reason?
Tyson: He’s an IDIOT!
Terrific Tyson was turned into this HIGH-KILL shelter because he is ‘not fully house-trained.’ Talk about passing the buck! Did the owner expect Tyson to house-train himself? (I’m guessing the answer here would be a resounding YES.) This is one of those cases where you recommend the former owner stick with a low-maintenance betta fish, hermit crab, or ant farm…ANYTHING but a DOG!
Two-and-a-half-year-old Tyson is an affectionate boy who showers his human with first-rate standing hugs to show he cares. When playtime rolls around, Tyson doesn’t discriminate. Girl or boy, as long you play, it’s okay! Tyson’s exposed ribs reveal he’s not at his optimal weight, but otherwise he’s a healthy boy. And though the soft purrs of his former feline friend have vanished, Tyson is eager to make new and beautiful memories with his next cat companion.
Tyson is top notch with tons of class, offering up a waggy tail despite unjust past and present circumstances. The resilience of a dog is humbling. Spare this brindle boy from an abysmal ending. Foster or adopt Tyson ASAP. 💖
Christy
I think that might too much I was thinking that the former that the former owner should just stick with a stuffed animal.
Bobbi, I think you might be right! 😉
Please help this young sweet boy. He had a bad owner who didn’t even take proper care of him. He’s young an d deserves better. Adopting or fostering will save this dog. Write for guidance: [email protected] – Must be saved.
THIS BABY NEEDS SAVED PLEASE HELP HIM HE IS A ABUSED DOG HE DOES DESERVE THAT CHANCE PLEASE RESCUES GET HIM SAFE 10,00 MORE
Thank you Tammy🐾❤️

$25 pledge for Tyson! This is an absurd and cruel reason to leave a dog at a shelter, and I hope the CID investigation leads to real action being taken against the owner
Pledge honored, thank you Amsterdog!
Thank you Kevin🐾❤️
Tyson at his best…tentatively and gently playing with the redoubtable Marcelina!,
Guess what? No hyperarousal type activity noted by volunteers, or evident in his videos.
His videos give a glimpse of how lovely and sweet Tyson, an attractively carmelized light brindle, is…as happy and well adjusted as he appears in his videos, his continued physical and emotional state of well-being depends on you as Tyson wants and needs a home…please act to adopt or foster TYSON

Docile, and a little shy, but wags tail.Friendly.. Tyson did well on his Behavior assessment(safer). Tyson approaches assessor with soft body..Several times would mount leg..Allowed all handling..Shelter Observation: Tyson has displayed warning signals in his kennel(barking) and increasing distance..Once outside, and given time to acclimate, Tyson displays highly social behavior..He will solicit attention, and petting from handlers, and takes treats gently..When exploring the yard, he checks in with handler, sitting close by, and leaning in with soft body and eyes.. Tyson is suitable for person with experience..This is really a nice dog..I really love Tyson..Please someone offer your home to Tyson..If you can’t commit long term, or would like to give Tyson a try to see if you are a match, foster him at no cost to you..Contact Help Desk on Rescues who offer free fostering..Share and find Tyson his special someone..Pledging gets him noticed by the rescue and pays for his care..Tyson has bee through a lot, but still manages to love his humans..Please don’t let this dog, who has recently broke free from abuse, be put to death today..Save Tyson’s life.. .. ….
NYC has an Animal Abuse Registry.
‘On February 4, 2014 the New York City Council voted unanimously to override former Mayor Bloomberg’s veto and create a city-wide animal abuser registry across the five boroughs.’
From the registry’s link: ‘You may only subscribe to the New York City Animal Abuse Registry if you are a NYC animal control officer, member of an animal rescue group that adopts out animals, a veterinarian, or employee of an animal shelter, humane society or pet shop. Employees and members of these business and organizations are required by the New York City Animal Abuse Registration Act (Local Law 4 of 2014) to consult this Animal Abuse Registry before selling or transferring an animal. Transfer or sale of an animal to individuals listed on the Registry is prohibited. Organizations may be verified to confirm eligibility. By subscribing to the Animal Abuse Registry you agree that you will use the registry only for the purpose of complying with the New York City Animal Abuse Registration Act.’
As a member of the public I cannot register to determine if the registry is viable or not. If charged and convicted, it would be nice to see Tyson’s former owner listed.
I wonder if the ACC even uses this to vet adopters….
I hate Bloomberg that little obnoxious pompous weasel..I wonder also why the list is not available to the public..How is someone to check on a person who wants to adopt or buy a pet to see if they are abusers..It’s probably all BS..It has recently become a felony in NY to abuse animals..Some how I don’t believe ACC reports all suspected abusers, otherwise the jails would be full, with ACC being the biggest abuser of them all.. I have to check on that registry..
This poor boy! 😢 He deserves a chance to live a happy life with a loving family. He deserves to know what it feels like to be adored. Please give him that opportunity!

Tyson is in despearte need of an adopter foster to save his life..Pledges are used to support the dog in foster care..It does not guarantee the dogs safety..A rescue will not pull a dog to safet unless there is a foster home in place to accept the dog..Rescues do not house the dogs.. They work from their own homes. They depend on the kindness of foster parents to temporarily take the dog in until a forever home is found..Fostering gives the dog time..time they will no longer get at the shelter..So please open your heart, and home to Tyson and save his life..Fostering is free, it’s temporary, and you saved a life..Contact help Desk on Rescues who offer free fostering..Please hurry!
Adopt or foster sweet Tyson…do not hesitate, act immediately and contact urgent.
According to Amsterdog on Facebook and Twitter, Tyson is safe with them!
💞
I notified amsterdog about Tyson today. I explained that there was evidence of cruelty seen and that he is too thin and ate ravenously at the shelter! I hope amsterdog or one of the rescues gets him out of there.
Happy for Tyson..hwe is a neat little guy.
Gllad you are proactive.
The New Hope rescues are well aware of the TBD dogs. What they need is fosters and adopters to step up. Urgent Helpdesk Moderator
I believe all the NH rescues get an electronic (faxed, email) copy of the ARL each night, so they are aware. I think also they only prefer to be contacted IF you are offering to foster/adopt. Otherwise, they could be deluged with information they already have, and that takes time away from their main goal and frustrates them. I learned this the hard way, so I thought I would share.
Yay for Tyson!
