About Dylan

Dylan is easily one of the silliest, most entertaining dogs we have ever met at Lighthouse. With his goofy mannerisms and pure zest for life, it is nearly impossible to be in a bad mood when hanging out with him. Dylan loves to be outdoors in our play yard running back and forth with a tennis ball in his mouth. When you meet Dylan outside, he is energetic and you might assume that he is bouncing off the walls indoors but that is far from the truth! This boy has a blast out in the play yard but when it's time for him to go inside, he runs right into his crate, curls up for a nap, and doesn't make a peep. He has excellent crate manners. No nuisance barking, no barking at other dogs, no accidents. Dylan goes outside with another dog in our care who sometimes plays a little rough with him. Dylan is so patient with her. Before he was transported to us, he spent time in a boarding kennel where he socialized with other dogs and they also described him as very tolerant of other dogs (they said he was the babysitter for the puppies that were in boarding). Dylan is deaf. For this reason, he will need an adopter with a fully fenced-in yard. We want to be sure that Dylan is safe in an enclosed space while getting to know the ropes of his new forever home. A message from Dylan: I am a 5-year-old, 54 lb. male My paperwork says I am an English Pointer Mix. The volunteers are having a good time guessing what else I am. What do you think? Boxer or bulldog maybe? I will never tell. Dogs: I don't engage in play often with other dogs, but I am more than happy to share the yard with others. I have a high tolerance for energetic dogs in my space. I am very dog savvy. Cats: I haven't been tested with cats yet
