At just 1 year old and 43 pounds, Dylan is a soft, shy boy who’s still learning to feel safe in the world. Overwhelmed by busy settings but incredibly gentle when given calm, respectful attention, Dylan is now settling into a foster home where he can begin to unwind. With the right person, this sensitive pup will quietly bloom into a loyal companion.
Why He’s the Ultimate Gentle Observer
🐾 Shy but sweet—tolerates calm handling and responds to kindness
🌿 Low energy—enjoys quiet environments and slow-paced walks
🐕 Dog-social but independent—joins playgroups but prefers to watch over joining in
🛋️ Prefers peaceful company to chaos—perfect for introverted or mellow adopters

What He’s Looking For
✔️ A calm, quiet home where he can decompress at his own pace
✔️ A patient adopter who understands fearful or shutdown dogs
✔️ Gentle, predictable routines and soft encouragement
✔️ Possibly a mellow dog companion to model confidence
Dylan may not demand attention—but he’s the kind of dog who quietly captures your heart. With trust and time, he’ll be the one who rests his head in your lap, walks softly by your side, and reminds you that the best friendships are built slowly.
