Tye

Tye could live with children aged 13+. He could potentially live with another well-matched dog, but no cats or small animals. Tye is a lovely young lad who is a quite a sensitive soul. He was a very nervous boy initially when he first arrived here at the shelter and sadly still seems to be struggling with the kennel environment. However, once out and about and away from the noise of the shelter, Tye feels much more relaxed and is able to let his guard down and show us more of his true, lovely, daft personality! Once he’s comfortable, he’s a playful and energetic chap, who loves playing with his toys and having a good run! Tye can be vocal and show frustration towards other dogs – which we suspect is exacerbated by the shelter environment. Once he is actually able to interact with them, he is keen to engage and shows playful behaviours – so he could potentially live with another well-matched dog. His new family will need to be comfortable managing his behaviours around other dogs and able to carefully continue his socialisation to enable him to develop more appropriate ways to manage his feelings. Tye struggles with being left alone whilst in his kennel and this is likely to translate to separation anxiety in the home. He will need a family who are around a lot of the time and who are able to work on slowly building up any time that he is left alone, so that he is able to overcome this. This sweet, intelligent boy needs an active and experienced home who are able to not only keep up with him physically, but provide him with plenty of mental stimulation and the ongoing training he needs to develop into a happy, confident and well-rounded adult dog. He has loved engaging with enrichment activities here at the shelter and needs a home where he can get his brain working! We have no doubt Tye will require time, patience and consistency from his new family when he first goes home, but we know he has the potential to make such a fantastic addition to his forever home and will become an immensely rewarding companion to the family who give him the chance he deserves.
