Dylan was adopted from our rescue at 8 weeks old. He has been returned due to no fault of his own. The adopters husband health took a turn for the worse and was unable to keep him. This is what she said about him:

Dylan is a very sweet loving puppy. The vet currently believes he will be approximately 80
pounds when full grown. He loves to play and has loads of energy. He needs a house where
there is room for him to move around with and a large yard if possible to run around in free.
He’s not real happy with leashes or harnesses. In fact, if he can get hold of them he will destroy
them so he’s not held down. For him, it’s just puppy play and not aggressive.

He loves children but we have to be careful because he is so big, he can accidentally hurt them
either with a paw or teeth or just knocking them over. This is never in an aggressive manner.
He just wants to play.

Our house may have been his first experience with a cat. We have a older lady, approximately
10. She never warmed up to him because he is so exuberant. He wants to play with her but as
he is so much larger than her, she is on the defensive and has swatted him a couple of times.
Even so, he still wants to play with her unless she turns around and faces him or raises her paw.
He will yelp and run away. By the way, he also likes to eat her food but at the same time, she
has gone and drank his water just to show him it goes both ways.

For food, he will eat but sometimes, you just have to try different things as he may not be
interested in what we’re putting out. He will not let himself go hungry. Dry food will work if
you add milk to it.

Sometimes, he seems to want to be a lap puppy. Also, he is good at going and taking a nap with
someone if they are resting. He is so sweet and loving.

He did get some informal training but most of it did not stick. He does need a formal, possibly
immersive training. He does know that night night means it’s time to go to the crate and he will
go.

Dylan is very smart. He can open our front door. You can’t fool him with anything. When he’s
outside, you can really see the pointer side of him especially when there are other types of
animals around.

Someone that has room and is healthy enough to get out with him would really be so lucky to
find Dylan.
