About Tyson

Tyson is currently at our Evansville, IN location. He’s a 9-year-old neutered male, a boxer and pit bull terrier mix, and tips the scale around 35 lbs. Tyson’s got those classic pittie sounds when he’s happy, and his personality is just as sweet as his face. He spent time living with another dog before, so with the right introduction, he could be a good buddy for another dog. A meet and greet is required for potential canine siblings. He does well with older kids and fits best in a calm, low-key home. Tyson wants nothing more than to be your walking partner and can adapt to a laid-back lifestyle. His adoption fee is sponsored in memory of Enzo, making his new start a little easier. And a fun fact: being born on June 22 makes Tyson a Cancer—loyal and affectionate to his core.
