Support and Health

How much training will I need?

Needs some support

Can I be left alone?

Potentially, once settled

Tyson is used to being left home alone for short periods, but he can become unsettled if left for longer than a couple of hours. For this reason, we are looking for a home where Tyson won’t regularly need to be left alone for extended periods and where someone can be around for most of the day.

Do I have any medical conditions?

History of

Tyson has previously been treated for an ear infection, which has now fully resolved. He has also had a dental procedure carried out at Woodgreen.

Tyson was previously found to have an enlarged prostate. He has since been neutered, which should help to resolve this. This is something that will need to be taken into consideration when looking for his new home. Our rehoming team will be happy to provide further information about Tyson’s medical history if you apply to rehome him and are successfully matched.

We always recommend discussing any previous or ongoing medical conditions with your own vet before taking your new pet home, to ensure you have a full understanding of their individual needs.

Who I can live with

Can I live with dogs?

No

Can I live with cats?

Yes, conditionally - Tyson could live with dog savvy cats given a slow introduction. This is something we can advise you on.

Can I live with small pets?

Yes, conditionally - Tyson could live with securely housed small pets

Additional information

Tyson would be happiest as the only dog in the home. Tyson could have some nice walking buddies in his new home as he does enjoy being social with other dogs.

Family and environment

What kind of family am I looking for?

Tyson has lived with children before and was a very tolerant gentleman. We feel he could live with children aged 8 years plus.

What type of environment would suit me?

As long as Tyson has regular opportunities to toilet and go for walks, it is not essential that he needs a garden. He is quite happy being inside with his people.

About Tyson

Meet Tyson, a large, lovable lap dog. He has heaps of love to give and a heart of gold. Being alone is quite scary for Tyson as he has grown up in a busy household so he is looking for a caring, patient home who will give him their time and company.

Whilst Tyson understands that other dogs exist in the world, and is ok with this, he enjoys one on one time with his family so would prefer to be the only dog in the home so he can get all the love and attention!

Tyson really is a family-orientated boy so would be happy living in a full house but would appreciate a home with older kids about who can play with him whilst still respecting his boundaries.

Staffies might be small but they’ve got big hearts. If you like affectionate dogs, they could be the breed for you! Learn more about the breed at Ask Woodgreen.
