DYLAN

One of the (many) good things about DRT (I get to say that; I’m an adopter and a volunteer) is that if the need ever arises, an adopted dog can come back to DRT for placement with another home.  This is what has happened with Dylan.

About a year ago he came to DRT from an all-breed rescue, where he had been turned in by his original owners due to a necessary move to a place that, on principle, didn’t allow dogs.  As too often happens, it was either on the street for the family or find a home for the dog.

After Dylan was with us for a bit, he was adopted by a supporting friend and volunteer of DRT who fell in love with him and eagerly took him home.  Now, once again due to circumstances beyond control, he is back with us looking for a new, hopefully forever home.

Our experience with him at Elijah’s house is that he gets along peaceably with the male dogs on either side of him, he doesn’t “fence fight”, he shows eager interest in playing with the other dogs at the vet’s, and he walks well for post-surgery Carol with one hand on a slip lead.  He even passed the "Pekingese test"  (that would be wild-girl Maggie and playful Teddy) when he play bowed and was eager to play with two small Pekingese.  He does have that “cats exist to be eradicated” gene, so a cat-less environment is pretty much essential, but if you’re looking for a big beautiful Doberboy with lots of love and enthusiasm, you’ll want to spend some time with Dylan.
