February Dog 4 a Day update:    Tyson is a very good dog.  He is social and curious, and not at all nervous or aggressive. We took him to the downtown Sanford area where he experienced children, strollers, bicycles, motorcycles, vehicles, birds, dogs, and lots of people.  He was curious and would pull on the leash, but he never charged.  Many people commented on how beautiful and sweet he is.  He knows how to run with a leash, but he is strong, and does need more leash/obedience training.  (He didn't respond to Sit Stay Heel in English or Spanish.)  We later took him to an outdoor restaurant that allows pets. He sniffed and tried to vacuum crumbs from the floor, but never tried to take food from the table.  He also did very well riding in the car. He didn't cry or seem stressed.  We would describe him as more mellow dog, not hyper.  Tyson is a sweetheart, and just wants to be loved.  

Tyson (previously k nown as Stevie) was originally found by a stray couple and brought to PRBJ, and was then adopted. He was returned to us because his owner needed to leave the country. He was in a home with three young children and he did very well, so he is good with kids, as well as dogs. He is strong, but very playful and sweet and enjoys going for walks and sleeping in bed with you! Tyson is such a sweet boy and is so sad to be out of his home - he has such a happy spirit, despite his situation. He would also benefit from having another dog in the home because he is very young and active. He loves to play with toys and chase a ball. He doesn't know how to fetch, but he will always chase a toy if you throw it - he would make an amazing running partner! We like to call him "Bender JR." because he looks exactly like Bender, another dog at PRBJ. They enjoy each other's company and love to run and play together!  If you are interested in Tyson, please submit an adoption or foster application online. 

He would also LOVE to go out for the day with our Dog 4 a Day program! Please consider taking Tyson out and you will discover what an awesome dog he is!!
