About Tyron

Click apply to start the adoption process. Tyron is a 5-year-old Chow Chow and German Shepherd mix who came to the rescue when his owner's living arrangements changed. A big boy with a long, creamy white coat, Tyron prefers minimal physical touch but absolutely loves his walks around the neighborhood. Brushing is tolerated briefly, though he can be grouchy about being handled, and he required full sedation at the vet for his spring shave. Tyron's previous owner took him to dog parks, which shows he may coexist well with another dog, though supervised introductions are essential. He’s not a fit for homes with cats or children. Tyron's perfect match is an experienced, dog-savvy adult-only household willing to work through his quirks, offering patience and the opportunity for several meet-and-greets to ensure a smooth transition. He's neutered, fully vaccinated, heartworm negative, microchipped, and ready for a second chance with the right family. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
