A4804641 Tyson is a happy and loving 10-year-old white-and-tan male Boxer who came to the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center as an owner surrender on March 2nd. Weighing 51 lbs, Tyson is gregarious, gorgeous, and handsomely youthful looking. His former owners said that he seemed good with small children, is housebroken, is good on leash, and seems to get along well with both dogs and cats. They also said he was just learning obedience skills. Tyson is special needs—he has a malady that strikes Boxers (and other dogs): canine degenerative myelopathy, which causes paralysis starting in the back limbs and moving forward. Tyson’s back legs are currently unstable and wobbly, but that doesn’t keep this great old guy from soldiering on, wobble-walking on leash with his handler, and showing great interest in other dogs, people, and just life in general. He is unaware that he has been left in a shelter, just as he is unaware that he has any issues with his legs. Obviously, he will need to see a vet, and he may be a great candidate for a doggie cart/wheelchair. Tyson is beautiful in looks and personality; he’s also extremely loving and seems to have been well cared for. He will be an excellent indoor pet and loving companion for any individual or family with a heart large enough to love and keep such a joyous, can-do, and eager-to-please boy.
