About Tyga

Tyga is a sweet senior dog searching for a loving home to enjoy his golden years. He has a playful spirit and loves games of tug-of-war along with his favorite rope toys and meat stick treats. Having lived with a 5-year-old child, cats, and a smaller dog, he is well-acquainted with family life. However, transitioning into a new environment after spending his entire life in one home will require some patience. Tyga needs a caring family to support his adjustment, allowing him time to settle and feel safe. Slow introductions to new children and pets will help him transition successfully. Tyga deserves a peaceful place where he can be cherished and enjoy the comfort of home. Currently in a loving foster home, you can contact his foster parent at mandyleh@gmail.com for inquiries or to set up a visit. A meet-and-greet is required before adoption, and preference may be given to those who can meet sooner. For everyone’s safety, current pets cannot meet Tyga before adoption.
