** staff favorite! Tyson is 2 1/2 years old and a muscular 55 pounds, neutered & fully vetted! Tyson definitely has some kind of bully dog in his lineage. And we are pretty confident he also has working dog, perhaps Malinois or Dutch Shepherd. He's a great combination with a beautiful, dark brindle, swirly, sleek single coat! He is a regular at Camp Merricks for day camp 3 times a week and they report that he has the drive and personality of those working breeds. Tyson is bigger than most pit bulls and leaner than Am Staffs. There isn't a lot of shedding with this boy. He is VERY capable and VERY interested in learning. He loves balls and will do almost anything for them. He will even carry his toys on walks if you let him. While at Camp, Tyson has learned so much about being a great dog! Tyson ISN'T a "couch hippo". He's a well mannered athlete looking for a family that wants to play and enjoy life together. Tyson is good with dogs, but mostly female dogs, even pushy ones. He has a rougher play style, but it's not ever been inappropriate and he responds to correction. We cat tested him and was a bit too interested in them so cats are a NO go in his new home. Tyson is truly a great dog with a brilliant smile just waiting to be discovered. He lived with children in his previous home. To apply please go to: www.amherstanimalshelter.org/adopt
