My story

Hey there, future best friend! I’m Tyson! I’m a 15-pound terrier-Dachshund mix with a big heart and short legs—perfect for snuggles and strolls! I’m just a couple of years old, and while my past is a mystery (I was found as a stray), I’m all about making happy memories from here on out. I might be a little shy at first, but once I know you’re my buddy, I’ll be your shadow and your biggest fan. I get along great with other dogs—I share my kennel with a few and we’re all besties! I haven’t met any cats yet, so I’m not sure how I’d feel about them, but I’m open-minded! I’d be a  great fit for apartment living  or for an  older person looking for a sweet companion . I don’t need much space, I’m not high-energy, and I only need occasional grooming. I’m up to date on all my vaccinations, I’ve been neutered, and I’ve got a microchip now—so I’ll never get lost again! If you’re looking for a small, loving pup who’s ready to be your loyal sidekick, I might just be the one! Want to meet me? Email mike@caaronline.org to set up an appointment. I can’t wait to meet you! Tail wags and happy paws, Tyson   PS I will get more pictures of Tyson as soon as I can, these were taken just before a huge storm hit us so they were not very good but I want to get him online before the Labor Day weekend so anybody who might want to adopt him can get the extra day to be with him.   PLEASE e-mail (do not call) mike@caaronline.org for more information and to set up an appointment to adopt. Do not e-mail us with a request to call you, if you have a question, please ask in the e-mail.   All dogs are adopted on a first come - first served basis. Central Arizona Animal Rescue is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 corporation. We are located in San Tan Valley, AZ. If you have other dogs already, you must bring them for introduction prior to adoption. Follow us on Facebook - www.facebook.com/CentralArizonaAnimalRescue Follow us on Instagram -  www.instagram.com/centralarizonaanimalrescue Follow our YouTube Channel - www.youtube.com/channel/UCp43a-ycLJ2BwsgW8hu6UVg WE DO NOT TAKE OWNER SURRENDERS - If you are looking to surrender a dog, take them to the county animal control in the county you reside in. That is where we get all of our dogs we are trying to save. #rescuedogsoffacebook #rescuedogsrule #dogs #doglife #doglovers #doglover #rescueismyfavoritebreed #rescuedogs #rescuepup #rescuedogsrock #dogrescue #CAAR #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #dogrescuers #arizonarescuedogs #dogsofinstagram #rescuedog #HelpingLostPets #mutts #mixedbreed #shelterdogsofinstagram #rescuedogsofinstagram #adopteddogsofinstagram #adoptashelterpet #spayandneuter #adopted #rescuepet #opttoadopt #rescuesAugust 28, 2025, 6:03 pm
