Description:
A Holiday Miracle for Tyrone Tyrone is 3 years old, and heartbreakingly, he has never spent Christmas with a family of his own. Tyrone came into rescue as an older puppy, found as a stray and later transferred to us when another rescue was struggling. We promised him safety and a chance. That was two years ago, and Tyrone is still waiting . In that time, Tyrone has become everything we could hope for in a dog: ✨ Wonderful with kids ✨ Great with other dogs ✨ Playful, affectionate, and eager to please ✨ A true volunteer favorite, loved by everyone who knows him. He has attended adoption events, proudly walked in parades, and greeted the public with a wagging tail and hopeful eyes. Volunteers adore him… yet no one has ever chosen him. Tyrone has never had a single meet-and-greet. Why? Because Tyrone is a black pit mix, a quiet victim of Black Dog Syndrome, where amazing dogs are overlooked simply because of their color or breed label. It’s a stigma that has cost Tyrone two Christmases and far too much time waiting. But Tyrone hasn’t given up. He still loves deeply. He still believes people are good. And he is still ready to give his whole heart to a family of his own. ❤️ This Christmas, we are praying for a holiday miracle for Tyrone. Christmas photo is AI-generated for festive fun. Tyrone’s real photos will be shared as well
