POSTED ON BEHALF OF HOPE RESCUE
Dylan is a 4 (nearly 5) year old lurcher and is currently on foster in Bridgend, South Wales.
The Dylan Fact File
Dog status: Very good
Cat status: Can not be rehomed with cats or small animals.
Child status: Good. Could be rehomed with children aged 6 years +
House training: Perfect
Home alone: Happy to be left for a while if he has had a walk. Could potentially live with a full time worker with a break in the middle of the day and enough mental stimulation at other times.
Basic training: Lovely on the lead, knows to sit and has good recall when there are no distractions.
Dylan is a little bit like a super hero. One minute he is the mild mannered Bruce Wayne or Clark Kent in the house and out on the lead. Then get him outside and off the lead and you have yourself a batman or superman kind of guy. Is it a bird? No, is is a plane? No.....its a big tan lurcher running at full speed ;D
Return home and he is back to his couch potato, lounge-about-the-house-and-snooze-all-day attitude.
Dylan is living with other dogs in his foster home and gets along with them well. However, he would also suit a home as the only dog. He does value a rawhide chew highly and can grumble at other dogs when he has one (although not people).
Dylan is happy being left if he has had a walk and may be able to be rehomed to a full time worker if he had other dogs for company when left.
Dylan is preferably looking for a new owner who has owned sighthounds and or lurchers before and understands their ways. He has a strong chase instinct. His desire and drive to chase is programmed into his DNA and we cannot ignore it. For this reason we will not rehome him where there are cats, small animals or small dogs in the home.
Dylan does have good recall when there are no distractions, however, the sort of things that would distract him cannot be anticipated or prepared for such as rabbits or deer. He will need an owner who can take great care about when to let him off the lead and he should be muzzled for safety. If he goes to a new home with other sighthounds, lurchers or dogs with a high chase drive he should be let off lead on his own as he is easily led astray and egged on by the presence of others when running.
Dylan loves people and is very easy to live with. He is gentle and friendly with all he meets, even the vet and is very easy to handle. He is good with children and could be rehomed with children over 6 years.
*Please note we do not rehome dogs where they will be worked i.e. used to deliberately hunt other animals*
All Hope Rescue dogs are neutered, vaccinated, wormed, flea treated and microchipped prior to rehoming. A homecheck will be required, and you will need to come and meet the dog with your own dogs and family. We have a suggested minimum donation of £160.
