Tyson - Hound and Pit Bull Terrier Dog Available for Adoption in Jackson Township, New Jersey

Tyson, Hound mix, White and Brown, Male neutered, 1 year old
Tyson may be a little timid at first, but he warms up quickly, and gets very excited when you give him attention! He is still a young boy, who would benefit from some more training, and would do well with a family that can give him plenty of exercise! Tyson seems to get along well with other dogs but does seem afraid of cats. He might do best in a home with children over the age of 12, as younger children may be too much for him.
