11/12/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: If Tyson’s kennel packet were like a report card, he would be getting an A+ in every subject! He has impeccable leash manners and is constantly used to help train new volunteers. And, of course, all of those new volunteers remark on how sweet he is! He loves treats, but isn’t one of those dogs that only remembers that they know how to “sit” when they’re shown one…this guy immediately responds to just the verbal cue. He seems housebroken, loves to play fetch, and is very waggy and quietly affectionate. Tyson has done very well with other dogs at the shelter, too! He has earned the label “playgroup rockstar” and is noted for being very tolerant, even of offensive dogs. Please come meet him at Brooklyn ACC…he is a superstar!
