More about Ty! If you've made it to his blog, you've probably found sweet Ty on adoptapet or petfinder and want to know a little more- and I'm glad you're here because there's alot more to tell. I've started a blog for him because  a few paragraphs on an adoption website just aren't enough to tell his story- and because he's been with me since 8/28/13 and been to several adoption events, and he's been overlooked. Ty isn't a young puppy, or fluffy, or a purebred so people walk right by him as he patiently waits to be noticed by a loving adopter. I want to make sure this boy gets noticed because trust me when I tell you that he is SPECIAL.

First, more about his story- I was contacted in mid August by the animal control officer in Central Falls, RI- a lovely woman who is a great friend to rescue. She asked if we could help and we said YES as soon as we heard about his background. You see, Ty was discovered at the scene of a particularly brutal double homicide earlier that summer- two young men, 21 and 22 years old, were murdered in a 3rd floor apartment in Central Falls. Their bodies were discovered days later when neighbors complained of a terrible odor- yes, Ty was trapped for days in that apartment, after witnessing the murders. He was quarantined in a shelter, but adopted quickly and returned just as quickly after biting the husband of the adopter. I don't know any more about the failed adoption, whether they had other dogs or not,  But when I heard Ty's story I knew he needed another chance- if a foster hadn't stepped forward Ty was going to be euthanized, and I KNEW that it would be cruel and unfair to take this boy's life after he had suffered such trauma.

And I have not for a second regretted my decision- Ty is a wonderful dog, a best buddy to my other foster, little blind Graham  http://www.adoptapet.com/pet/9109414-providence-rhode-island-yorkie-yorkshire-terrier-mix   and a perfect addition to my household. He's so deserving of a loving home! More about Ty will follow- more pictures, more of all of his great qualities, more about his friendship with Graham, and more about his issues with anxiety. Stay tuned!
