A volunteer writes: Handsome Tyson was waiting quietly in his kennel, and when he saw me unlatch his door, leash in hand, he sat to be leashed! OK Tyson, you’ve impressed me! Easy peasy to walk, taking care of his business is his first priority, and then we’re off to the park. He’s round and short (just perfect!) and his coat gleams with good care. As he posed for some pictures in the park a group of kids began playing ball and his tail wagged as he watched. We’re told he lived “in a household with children from different age groups that came to visit” and is very playful with them, so I’m imagining that Tyson would have so loved to join the game. Tyson also lived with cats and dogs and wanted to play. He’s calm when being bathed, doesn’t guard his things, loves to play fetch, is housetrained, is used to being walked 3x a day, and knows ‘sit’, ‘stay’ and ‘come here’, and likes being in the same room as the family. Tyson was surrendered due to landlord issues but it’s clear that he was a cherished family companion used to the comforts of a home. When I filled Tyson’s water bowl at the sink he stood up, paws on the edge to watch! Smart boy knows his way around the kitchen! Mr. Awesome would love a new family to take care of and is hoping it will be yours. Come meet him today!

06/06/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE

Tyson came into our center as an owner surrender. It is reported he has lived in a household with children of various ages, playful with them. Owner reports Tyson has lived with other dogs, cats, and snakes, hyper around them and loves to play. Tyson is reportedly not bothered if anyone touches his Food, Toys, Treats. Owner reports Tyson is housebroken to go outside on the grass, is well behaved when alone in the home. He is described as playful, affectionate, and friendly with a high activity level. During intake, Tyson had loose wiggly body and wagging tail, allowed all handling. Tyson shoulder rubbed upon positioning for tactile portions of SAFER assessment, unable to perform Look item. Tyson leaned into assessor during Sensitivity item, open mouth, tail wag. He followed at the end of the leash for Tag game, became overly aroused quickly, grabbing leash, jumping up to mouth leash closer and closer to assessor’s hand, never fully settling for the remainder of the assessment. He mouthed assessor’s hand during first Squeeze attempt, no pressure. Tyson showed no interest in Toy, focused on jumping to grab the leash, at times vocalizing, reluctant to relinquish. Owner reports his favorite activity is to play catch, but Tyson was not given toys of his own to play with in the home. When off leash with other dogs, Tyson greets politely and briefly engages in running play. The Behavior Team feels Tyson would do best with an Experienced adopter that does not have very young children. He would benefit from obedience classes to learn leash manners as well as focus and body awareness. Look: 3.

Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Tyson engages in briefly in play with female dogs, then roams the pen. He has been observed to be tense and hard barking when greeting unneutered males through a barrier, but has not yet been introduced off leash. The behavior department feels that Tyson should have a pre-adoption interaction before placement with a dog. He may do best if introduced to a respectful, female dog.
