05/27/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Such a tough name for such a sweet boy. I can’t be sure of what inspired that moniker but our Tyson is definitely all lover, no fighter. A miniature tiger in that gorgeous, exotic coat, tiny Tyson is one of the most striking pups I’ve ever seen. From those pointy ears that wiggle when you speak, down to that never-ending tail by which you’re so tempted to “catch” him, Tyson is truly a work of art. Surrendered to our care through no fault of his own, Tyson is described by his former owner as very playful, occasionally shy, and sweet. He previously lived with a 4 year-old child (one wonders if they were able to resist that tail) and was said to be very respectful of them. My time with Tyson starts off beautifully. He greets me with that adorably serious face and accompanying tail wag, and we’re off to find our adventure. As we spin around the block, Tyson is quick-footed but calm, keeping those sharp, brown eyes wide and alert. Free in a pen, he gives Christopher Columbus a run for his money. Every nook, every cranny must be explored, and to the hilt! As birds boldly dart in and out of our pen, our little tiger gives chase, perhaps living out fantasies of a romp through the jungle. He returns to my side often for pets and for treats, his still-serious face betrayed by that forever-wagging tail. “Eeny meeny miney mo, catch a tiger by the toe…” Or by the tail? In reality, neither. Guaranteed it will go something like this: He’ll catch your eye. You’ll catch your breath. He’ll steal your heart. Tyson is waiting in adoptions at Manhattan’s ACC.

5/26 SAFER update: Although Tyson did not display concern during the handling portion of his assessment, there have been concerns regarding Tyson’s behavior around other dogs. When off leash with other dogs, Tyson is tense, and runs after the female helper dog, snapping toward her neck and vocalizing. The behavior department recommends that Tyson be placed with an experienced adopter who can follow up on and manage these behaviors. Tyson pulls a bit on the leash.
