About this Dog
ADOPT METysonAround 1Neutered MaleFully vetted***Medical: Lyme Disease (but don’t fret! Read for more info as this isn’t anything to be crazy worried about financially or lifespan wise)Tyson is a young male (maybe around 1) who is filled with love and excitement! Tyson is at that perfect age where he’s got the puppy energy, while fine tuning his manners and obedience.Tyson was found roaming the streets of Alamagordo and was without a home for an unknown period of time. Some caring people placed food and a camera out, and caught him eating the food for a couple weeks when no one was around. Eventually he was taken in where he lived with another dog and kids, and reportedly did well.Tyson is crate trained and potty trained. When he needs to go potty, he barks to let his Foster’s know he needs out. He sleeps in his crate, and sleeps through the night.Dogs: Tyson has shown to do well with other dogs. He is able to run and play with them, and also able to settle and entertain himself. We have seen him males, females, and some small breed dogs and he’s done well!Cats: Tyson is also cat friendly, showing no interest in his cat foster sister. However, his cat sister is also uninterested in him, and it’s unknown how he’d do with a more playful cat.Kids: Tyson loves humans. Any human. All humans. Whatever human!!!!! He may need some help with being calm/gentle around younger kiddos… but we have seen him reel it in to interact with kiddos As a younger guy, Tyson is still working on manners. He is highly food motivated. He has learned sit, down, shake, place, belly (where he rolls and gives you his belly but doesn’t do a full rollover). His leash manners are a work in progress, and have shown great improvement.Tyson loves to play and thrives with enrichment. He loves to settle in with a kong toy, chase a ball, sniff out food hidden around for him to find, or just enjoy a lickimat. He also loves cuddling with his people and the comforts of (finally) being in a home. He loves to have a blanket, or a bed, or a couch, or a lap to lay on.Tyson came to our rescue with many scars, all different in types and healing levels. While we’ll never know exactly what caused these scars, we think they make him even more lovable. The likely reason it took his scars longer to heal is that Tyson has Lyme disease. Don’t worry, it’s not contagious to other animals or people!1. What Lyme Disease Is:An infectious disease caused by bacteria transmitted through tick bites. While it can sound serious, many dogs recover. It's common in areas with ticks, and it’s important to know that it’s treatable, especially when caught early.2. Symptoms to Watch For:can cause symptoms like lameness, joint pain, fever, lethargy, or loss of appetite. However, not all dogs show signs, and the symptoms can be managed effectively with medication.3. Treatment and Management:* Antibiotics: The most common treatment is a course of antibiotics, usually for about 4 weeks. The dog will need to be closely monitored during this time. (Tyson is still on his antibiotics as of 2/3/25)* Ongoing Care: After treatment, most dogs recover fully, but it's important to watch for any signs of recurring symptoms, especially joint pain or lethargy.4. Prognosis:The prognosis for dogs with Lyme disease is generally positive, especially if they are treated early and properly. Most dogs will lead normal, healthy lives after treatment.5. Adopter Expectations:While Lyme disease doesn’t typically interfere with daily life long-term, adopters should be prepared for a slightly more proactive health routine. Regular vet visits and keeping up with prevention are key. If the dog’s symptoms flare up, prompt veterinary care is essential.6. Why Adopt This Dog Despite Lyme Disease:Despite the Lyme diagnosis, this dog can still make a wonderful companion. Many dogs with Lyme disease go on to live happy, active lives. If they are a good fit for your home, they can offer the same love and joy as any other dog.Tyson joined our rescue in the middle of December. His foster family instantly fell in love with this sweet, fun-loving, goofy boy, and committed to helping him heal and decompress before looking for his fur-ever home. While they still love him, (and always will), the improvements in his health mean it’s time for Tyson to share his loving energy with his new family!Adoption application: check our pinned posts or our website! https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/53715/generic

100% of Tyson's balance will be sent to whoever adopts Tyson.
Adopt Tyson and Receive Tyson's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Tyson's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Tyson's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Tyson, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Tyson's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Tyson was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Tyson’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Tyson’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Tyson’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
