WAITLISTED - STILL ACCEPTING INTEREST

Introducing Dylan!

Affectionate Quiet Well-Mannered Chill

Personality: Dylan is a calm, affectionate Great Dane who enjoys the simple things in life—snuggling with her people, lounging in the sun, and quietly keeping you company. She is a very easygoing girl who forms strong bonds with her humans and loves to lie at their feet or stay close by throughout the day. While she can be a little timid at first, Dylan warms up with patience and kindness and quickly becomes a loyal companion. She is incredibly well-mannered and has a relaxed, steady presence in the home.

Socialness: Dylan previously lived with children aged 10 and older and did very well with them. She does not currently live with children in her foster home but has shown a gentle and respectful demeanor around people. She seems to have a slight preference for men but is affectionate with everyone once she feels comfortable. Slow introductions help her build confidence when meeting new people.

She has previously lived with both male and female dogs without any issues. In her foster home, she mostly ignores other dogs but will occasionally show a playful side. Dylan does not have a dominant personality and would do well either with another respectful dog companion or as the only dog in the home. While there are no cats in her current foster home, she previously lived with a cat and only showed interest in trying to play with it.

Likes:


Snuggling with her people
Rope toys
Lying in the sun
Going for walks


Dislikes:


Fast introductions


Training: Dylan is crate-trained and housebroken. She knows the commands sit, down, come, and leave it. She walks fairly well on a leash and does not jump on people. Like many Danes, she occasionally tries a little counter surfing if food is left within reach. She has shown very mild toy resource guarding but has not shown any guarding behavior with food. Dylan also tends to need a little encouragement when being invited onto beds or couches, but once settled in, she enjoys relaxing on soft surfaces.

Health: Dylan is in great health with no current concerns. She has experienced happy tail in the past, but it is not currently an issue.

Forever Home Wishlist:


Physical fence not required
Could do well in an apartment setting
Family gone no more than 6 hours preferred (up to 8 hours if needed)
Slow introductions to new people and animals
Another dog companion is welcome but not required
A calm home that appreciates a relaxed, affectionate companion


Fun Fact: Dylan is a champion foot-warmer and blanket lover—she is happiest when she can curl up nearby and quietly keep her favorite people company.
