Tyberius (Ty)

“Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Tyberius but you can call me Ty for short. As you may be able to tell from my photo, I’m a black labrador retriever and I weigh 69 pounds. I am a well seasoned boy who is 12 years of age.

“I had a dog brother who was my companion but he passed away. He was the alpha and I was the submissive one. It’d be nice to find a home with a dog who will be my friend.  I have developed anxiety because I’m alone so much and because of that, I take pills to help me. It’d be nice if I didn’t have to take this medication. Perhaps in my new home with another friendly dog and people around more often I won’t need the pills? I spend a lot of time alone now and I’ve been escaping from my yard. My people are afraid I’m going to be hit by a car.

“I have lived with cats and kids and done well with them. I’m a little clumsy sometimes so if you have really young kids, I may not be a good fit for you. I hope to find a home where I don’t have to be outside in a dog house.  I think that’s part of my problem, I don’t want to be away from everyone! I have so much love to give. When I’m allowed to be inside, I can hold it for about 6-7 hours. When I get to sleep inside the house at night, I’ll go all night without needing to go out. I need a home with someone who will be patient and understanding with me but mostly, I need a home with someone who will love me forever.  I try very hard to be the best boy I can be.

“Walks are SO MUCH FUN but I will pull when I’m on leash so one must be strong enough to manage that. I know how to play with a ball by myself but it’s much more fun when my humans will play ball with me.  I hope my new people will have time to play ball with me. I will admit I’m a chewer, even a senior dog will chew things up when they’re bored!

“I’m a silly and sweet dog who needs a new home very, very soon. Will you help me find one, please?”
