Tyson is a Name A Boxer dog!

Thank you Kelley Moore for naming Tyson.

“I grew up with a boxer named Tyson. He passed away last year from old age and hip dysplasia. Tyson was my best friend and I miss him dearly. I know this boxer will be as sweet, kind, and loving as my Tyson was to me…”

Here is the latest:
 
"Everyone loves Ty. Recently I took him to the park where they were having a fishing derby. There was a lot of activity going on and Tyson was great with everyone he met. He just looks at me and I say, "OK" and he's their friend.

We're still working on the leash. He still thinks he's a bloodhound; nose to the ground. Not too much crossing in front of me or behind me. He still acts like he has to take everything in all at once. It seems like he hasn't smelled flowers or the grass, heard the wind, or water running in a creek. But he isn't afraid of anything.
 
Ty is putting on some needed weight. He is now eating approximately 4 1/2 cups of food throughout the day. He liked his kong the first day but leaves it alone until I get home now. When he can't get all the kibble out he barks at it. After 3 or 4 minutes I surrender and finally knock it out for him and he‘s back to being a happy camper.

Ty is better with the birds that I keep in a separate room. Sunday we all sat on the couch with no whining or staring.

Today he had the run of the house while I was at work.  He did great in the morning and in the afternoon. So if there is the "devil" or "evil" lurking inside, he hasn't let it out yet =)
 
He is an easy boy!"

Below is a report from Tyson's foster mom:
 
“Tyson is a trooper.  After 10 long hours on the road crated in a van, and 2 1/2 hours in the back seat of a car, Tyson is safe.

He is such a loving and well-mannered boxer boy.  He is very well behaved. He has not even had one accident in the house.  This charming boy sleeps through the night and prefers to sleep on my bed.  Tyson also enjoys lounging on the couch.
 
The first full day in his new surroundings, he spent going in and out with me in the fenced yard.  He loves to run and wants to be around someone all the time.
 
I don't think he was in a crate until his trip.  He isn't real fond of it.  Tyson seems to do well on the leash.  He gives a head and ears up look when he sees another person or animal then continues on and he's back on track.

Tyson is thin and could gain a few pounds; which we are working on.  He takes food and treats very gently and waits until you say OK.  So far, he has barked once; when he was in the back room and my mom came into the house from another room (just a, ‘who are you?’ type bark).  He has met the neighbor’s dog and she barked at him, but he just looked at her like she was dumb.

I cannot say anything negative about Tyson; he is a REAL pleasure and a charming companion.  Anyone would be lucky to have him as part of their family.”

A CASUALTY OF WAR
 
TYSON
 
Tyson is another boxer we were asked to help who was out of our usual rescue area.  When we heard his story we could not say “no”.
 
Tyson was brought into an overcrowded high-kill shelter by a soldier’s girlfriend.  The soldier was sadly killed in Iraq….the girlfriend had to move and was unable to take a dog with her.
 
We welcomed Tyson into our rescue after a long journey.  His spirits were high and he was all wiggles and kisses when he arrived.
 
According to the shelter's paperwork, Tyson was born on March 7, 2006.  He is reported to be good with people and most dogs; he had lived with a small dog.  He apparently does not have a great rapport with cats or birds.  Tyson is used to spending his days indoors and is a perfect house-dog.
 
Tyson is a typical boxer boy that enjoys being a passenger in the car.  He likes to play with toys and exercise.  He is also fine on a leash and is accustomed to daily walks.  He is an all around good-natured boxer and enjoys being the center of attention.
 
Tyson is adjusting remarkably well in his new foster home.  We will be posting a report from his foster mom within the next few days.
