Tyson was picked up as a stray and taken to a local animal control facility.  He was filthy and terribly matted and we think he had probably been used for breeding purposes.  Tyson had been so badly neglected that he had to be shaved right down and his hair was literally peeled off in sheets by the groomer. 

He was placed in a loving foster home so that we could spend some time getting to know him better, while providing him with the medical care that he required.  Tyson was suffering from separation anxiety and he needed some extra help with his housetraining.  After receiving some much needed TLC, Tyson's confidence began to grow and his anxiety diminished.  He was soon able to tolerate being left alone for several hours at a time without becoming overly stressed.  With time and patience, Tyson's housetraining also improved.  After being neutered, tattooed, micro-chipped, updated on his vaccinations and having his teeth buffed and polished, Tyson was ready to find his forever home. 

Tyson was adopted by a fabulous couple in Nanaimo, where he now lives in a beautiful home with a nice, securely fenced yard backing onto the Chase River.  Tyson's new family has plenty of time to spend with him and he will never have to worry about being neglected again.
