Tyson’s Chance

Our Mission

Our primary focus is the rescue of special needs animals.

Tyson’s Chance Animal Foundation Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal rescue based in Shelbyville, KY.

A majority of our adoptable animals are seniors, medical cases, and those with social or behavioral issues. We also provide hospice care to terminally ill animals who have been relinquished to shelters or given up by their owners.

Tyson’s Chance rescues all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. We love to heal the sick, rehabilitate the misunderstood, and provide safe haven for those in their golden years.

Fun Facts!

The Tyson’s Chance logo was designed over 15 years ago by a former Procter & Gamble graphic designer, and people still love it.

There are only four people helping run both the Boutique and Tyson’s.

There are currently 16 dogs and 11 cats at Tyson’s.

Most of the dogs are seniors — the youngest right now is 11 years old.

How to participate

Do you have a soft spot for the ‘difficult’ dogs?

Our most vulnerable residents—those with behavioral quirks or medical needs—need your help the most. Whether it’s walking a shy pup, helping a reactive dog learn leash manners, or providing a quiet, safe space, your time helps them heal. You won’t just be walking a dog; you’ll be saving a life.

Adoption is the best option

Open your heart to a dog who needs it most. Adopting a shelter dog with health or behavior challenges requires patience and consistency, but the journey from cautious to confident is one of the most fulfilling experiences a person can have.

Interested in adopting? Please look over our adoption process. Adoption applications are located at the bottom of our adoptions page. Fill one out and email it to us!
