Meet Dylan – Your 17-Pound Snuggle Buddy! 🐾
Hi, I’m Dylan and I’m 4 and a big sturdy Yorkie with a curious spirit, a sensitive heart, and LOTS of love to give. Once I trust you, I’m all yours! My favorite place to be is curled up right next to you in bed. Belly rubs are always welcome, too! ❤️
I love exploring the great outdoors, whether we’re taking a walk or strolling around the backyard. I’m a curious guy who likes to keep an eye on everything going on around me.
Now, I do have a few things I’m still working on. Being left alone makes me anxious, and sometimes I deal with those feelings by getting into things I shouldn’t. Rugs, plants, cardboard boxes—you name it, I might try to turn it into my next destruction project! 😂 I’ll need a home where things are safely put away and I have appropriate chew toys to keep me busy.
I also have some fears from my past, so crates and being shut behind doors are not my thing. I do much better with room to move around in a safe, open space. If you need to leave for a little while, having a secure area of the house to explore works best for me.
I’m still working on my potty training, too. I usually do pretty well when my people are home, but when I’m left alone, I may have accidents or mark things. A consistent routine, patience, and a rug-free home will help me succeed. My people are also hoping that getting neutered will help with the marking.
What am I looking for? A calm, loving family that understands I may need some extra help adjusting to my new life. I need someone willing to work with me, help me feel secure, and give me time to learn that being alone isn't so scary.
In return, you’ll get a loyal, affectionate companion who wants nothing more than to feel safe, loved, and close to his favorite humans. I may need a little extra understanding, but underneath it all is a sweet boy who just wants a chance to be someone's best friend.
Dylan is being fostered in Washington DC.
Could you be the person who helps me feel at home forever? 🐶❤️
