Story
I got Banana in 2017, he turns 10 at the end 2026. Hes very sweet, playful, full of energy and life. Loves walks and going to the dog park. Generally gets along with other dogs, he is non-aggressive, but tends to lose interest in other dogs and prefer to sniff around or play with a ball. He gets along well with dogs his age rather than a puppy. Nana is a lap dog, he is overall clingy and will follow you where ever you go. Hes very awkward and stiff when picked up. Leash needed, he will catch a smell and go after it. He would thrive with an women owner, without young children. Nana likes all people, he is definitely a people dog rather than a dogs dog. He is very anxious, nervous and flinches to fast movement. He is reactive to my cats, causing a high stress environment overall. Along with I work very long days and don't have the time, attention, or affection to give that he so deserves.

Story
Hi! The shelter staff named me Tyson and I am available for adoption.I was brought in by a good Samaritan on 8/20/26.I am a gentle and loving dog who likes to take things slow. I may get nervous in new situations, so I am looking for a family who understands that I might take some time to warm up. Once I get to know you, I will be a very devoted friend!I weigh 71 lbs and am considered a `large breed` dog.I am an affectionate lovebug who would be thrilled to cuddle up with you at home!Mast cell tumor - I had two mast cell tumors that were removed. Histopathology showed that they were low grade and have low risk of local occurence and not likely to be aggressive/malignant. That`s great news! However, it`s probably best for me to get to know your vet or a veterinary oncologist for any further diagnostic or treatment/management recommendations.You can visit me at the Pet Adoption Center on weekdays from 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm, Saturdays and Sundays from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm. The Pet Adoption Center is located at 21615 64th Ave S, Kent, WA 98032.Come and visit me today, I`d love to go home with you!
