Dylan

Cavalier King Charles Spaniel · Male · Senior · 9 years

Dylan is a 9-month-old Blenheim Cavalier who came into rescue under sad circumstances. He is a loving, energetic young dog who has settled well into foster care and is now ready to find a home that can give him the time, training, and attention he needs. He is very much still a puppy in both age and behaviour. Dylan is playful, busy, affectionate, and a little mischievous at times. He loves toys, balls, games, and will happily ask to play as often as he can. He needs a home that genuinely wants the fun, commitment, and energy that comes with a young dog. He can only be left for short periods. Dylan has settled in well with the resident dogs in his foster home, although he was frightened of them at first. He can be timid when meeting new dogs and may take time to feel confident. He wants to make friends, but tends to approach more confidently once the other dog is calm, sitting, or lying down. He walks well on the lead but will need continued training and confidence-building. Puppy training classes would be highly beneficial for Dylan, helping him develop confidence, social skills, focus, and good manners in a structured and positive way. Dylan is clean in the house and mostly well-behaved, but he is still young and can be mouthy and mischievous. For this reason, he is best suited to a home with older children who understand young dogs and can interact with him appropriately. He is extremely affectionate and wants to be close to his people. Dylan loves sitting on your lap, sleeping near you, and being involved in daily life. He can be left for short periods, but he would prefer a home where someone is around most of the time. Dylan will be a wonderful companion for the right home – one with the time, patience, energy, and commitment to help him grow into a confident and well-rounded adult dog. ✅ Health conditions: No known health conditions at present. Dylan has had surgery in the rescue for an undescended testicle and has recovered well. He is up to date with vaccinations and parasite preventatives. 💊 On medication?
