About Tyson

Tyson started out as a stray, scared and withdrawn, showing signs he’d been mistreated. It didn’t take long in the shelter before his nerves gave way to curiosity and he began trusting people again. Now, he's a bundle of typical puppy energy and wants to be right beside you for whatever you’re up to. Tyson is always seeking attention and affection, quick to bond, and will stick close to his people. His breed isn’t certain, but he carries the look and spirit of a Plott Hound mix—brindle coat, short-haired, and medium-sized—always eager to play or explore. Tyson’s just getting the hang of house training and, given his young age and new start at life, will need some patience and consistency to settle into a home. He’s already neutered and up to date on vaccinations. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
