Tyson is a 11-year-old Rottweiler in Chester, PA, who needs $2,000 for MRI.

We've had Tyson since 2009 as a puppy. He grew up around with two of our other dogs, one of who passed away 4 years ago and another one passed in December 2020. They were essentially all great buddies. He's an extremely playful and affectionate dog and after losing our other dogs to old age, we have spoiled him endlessly.

Tyson loves to play with his toy balls and will carry them wherever he goes. He loves being around people because of the endless love he receives. When he wants to be pet, he will nudge his nose under your hand to place it on his head. He loves to be outside and he specifically loves the snow. He loves to roll around in it and loves to eat it.

Due to COVID-19, I am unprepared for the expense of an MRI. However, our goal is to do what we can in order for Tyson to receive the MRI and that way find the best way to treat him. We love him so much and would love to make every effort for his well being.

In January 2021, Tyson suddenly lost his ability to walk during a regular wash on the weekend. He has never had health issues until now. We immediately rushed him to the ER and were told that everything is "ok" but that a neurologist appointment is recommended. He regained some strength and currently stumbles while walking but will occasionally fall over and lose his balance.

One of our favorite things about Tyson is his howling whenever he hears sirens. He is currently slightly deaf so he doesn't howl as much as he used to but he will bark when he wants to go outside so he is still vocal. Tyson is special to us because of how sweet he has always been, how smart he is with tricks, and how playful is continues to be despite his age.
