Dylan

Description

Hi!  My name is Dylan and I am looking for a forever home.  I was picked up as a stray by animal control and taken to this super scary place called a shelter where, after no one came to claim or adopt me, I was placed on something bad called "the list".  Fortunately for me, a small local rescue pulled me before that could happen, and then contacted BCAA to see if they could help me and they said yes!  When I first arrived at my foster's, it was initially thought I was a black dog, but on closer inspection it was seen that I'm not black but a deep slate gray color which my foster mom says is really beautiful (awe, shucks!).  Best guess by everyone is I might be a small aussie mix with my docked tail and weighing in at only around 26lbs; however, the vet feels I'm only about 9-10 months old so I may fill out a little more but shouldn't get too much bigger.  I was a little shy and confused when I first got to my foster but it didn't take me long to learn I could trust and then I have really enjoyed getting attention (those treats helped!).  I have gotten along with most all of the other dogs I have met & I love playing with them ... well, there was this small, obnoxious little guy that we just didn't jive together; so far, I haven't bothered the cats I've encountered.  I have done really well in my crate without any accidents, barking or tearing up of my bedding, and after I learned I was going to get breakfast, dinner and treats in there, I started going in on my own; however, I would really prefer to be out with you.  I have also done pretty good on leash.  If you would like to learn more about me or meet me, please fill out an application which can be found at www.bcaaofnj.org.
