My name is Tyson and I am a 1.5 year old neutered male pit bull. Aren't I cute? The name Tyson means "high-spirited" because I'll fill your life with joy and spirit just in time for the holiday season! My friends say I have the sweetest disposition, but I try to be modest and not brag about how affectionate I am . I love to be pet, and I'll just shower you with kisses! I love people and I get along with other dogs as well. So if you're looking for a total love-bug, come and meet me!

I'm a friendly 3-year old boy who enjoys attention. I have a beautiful black coat and big, bright eyes. I'm a big boy with a sweet little voice that sounds ridiculously cute coming from such a big kittY! I have a hard time with the concept of sharing, so I'm looking for a home where I can be your one and only. Come meet me today!!
