My First Blog

Hi, my name is Dylan. I am a very handsome 3-5 years old male GSP. I was rescued from a shelter by EGSPCR because I was very nervous and scared, and getting sick. I was dragged into the shelter by a man that claims he found me as a stray. The shelter staff thinks he was really my owner though. Only I know the truth, but I’m not telling. Life is almost perfect now, but I am looking for my forever home.

I am one goofy and playful guy. I love to play with toys and other dogs. I enjoy chasing my foster sister in circles around the backyard, but I can never seem to catch her. I play nicely with toys, but prefer to play with another dog or human. When there’s nothing to do, I will settle down nicely on my dog bed. I love to be petted and will sometimes swat my paw at you for more.

I am crate trained and very close to being housebroken. I am doing well and have only had one accident during this long week I’ve been in foster care. I am sure with some structure and routine, I’ll have it down in no time.

I don’t seem to know any commands, but I walk very well on a leash. I enjoy going on a walk in the park several times a week and will stay right by your side, without any pulling. But of course, if I see something interesting, I may pull you over to investigate.

A have a strong prey drive, so cats and other small animals are probably not the best choice for my new siblings. I would enjoy having another dog to play with, but would also do fine as an only pup. I am high energy, like most GSPs, so a home where I can get lots of exercise and playtime would be ideal.

I am a bit skittish in the house. Things that move funny scare me a little. I also don’t like it when someone is coming towards me with something in their hands. I tend to scurry off. However, I’m making progress with this everyday and have shown plenty of curiosity with new things.

I have no problems sharing my toys and food with people. I also don’t mind sharing toys with other dogs. But I do not like to share my food with my foster brother and sister. I can become a little tense and start to growl. However, I am easily snapped out of it and redirected, which seems to be helping. My new family would need to be willing to work on this with me everyday.

I have not been tested around children. My foster mom thinks I would be okay with older, dog savvy children. I may knock down smaller kids because I’m big, goofy, and clumsy.

I am currently seeking my forever home. I am lyme positive and on medication, but once my bloodwork comes back normal, I can get neutered and be placed with my new family. If you are looking for a goofy, silly, playful boy…I am definitely your guy!
