We have a lot of fun every Wednesday at our studios, because we are graced with a beautiful dog who is up for adoption at the Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter. Today, Tyson paid us a visit, and we found out just how much he loves being pet and getting his butt scratched!

He's Such a Sweetheart!

This is Tyson the Pit Bull Mix, and he's such an affectionate pup. The Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter has had this lovely boy for a little while, making sure he was good to go with vaccines and other necessary medical precautions. He came in as a stray to the shelter, and it's believed he may have been abused by his previous owners. However, they don't know who the previous owners are.

Tyson is 5 years old with a Brindle and White coat. YVAS believes he would be good with other dogs, he's current and up to date on all vaccines, and he's been neutered. For more information on Tyson, you can check out his profile page by clicking on the link here.

Right now, YVAS is more than just a shelter. They work toward reuniting lost pets with their owners, provide adoption services, offer foster care for pets, and go out of their way to volunteer in the community. They're open every day, except for Wednesdays, starting at 12 noon.
