Tyson is at the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter, Wantagh, New York (Long Island).
Shelter Bio:
Tyson's story breaks our hearts. Tyson came to us as a stray, was reclaimed by his owner only to come back again as a stray. After speaking with his owner, we learned some things: They have had Tyson since he was just a few months old. He lived with a child in the home. He would be left outside when his owner went to work because he had some separation anxiety. Tyson doesn't like being outside during thunderstorms (shocker), and would escape the yard during these times. This is why Tyson came to us as a stray. And instead of working on these issues (crate training, working on the separation issues), his owner chose to leave him here and surrender him to us. Our hearts break even more knowing he is now a 9 year old terrier mix, in a shelter filled with dogs just like him. How will he be noticed and picked by a family? We know his chances are slim, and it truly just stinks. Stinks because he has lived his entire life with one family, and after 9 years, he's alone, nothing to show for it. Tyson seems to like other dogs, and we are recommending him for a home with kids 15 and older (even though he did live with a child growing up). Tyson seems house broken, he loves getting out for walks, and can sit for treats. He is a little aloof when first meeting him, but quickly warms up and solicits attention from his new friend. He is a very kind older guy, who doesn't deserve to be without a loving family.
