My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Ty is fun loving, full of personality, loves to give kisses and be kissed on his neck. He leans back as if to say, "kiss me".

He is dog social and people social. Sometimes takes a few minute to warm up to new people, but this is to be expected. His a little guy in a big world.

He is crate trained and housetrained.

Ty has a grade 3 heart murmur. He does not show any symptoms of having issues with his heart and most likely was born with the murmur and his body functions as normal.

He is such a great dog and deserves a family who will provide him with a backyard to wander, he loves exploring, climbing the garden walls, investigating under trees and bushes.

He stands in a tote to take his bath and loves being wrapped in a warm towel to dry off. He wears sweaters to combat the cold and PJ's for fun.
