Notes from Rescue Ranch
Meet Dilly – The Tall, Goofy Sweetheart You’ve Been Waiting For!
Dilly is the definition of a lovable goofball! With legs he never quite grew into, a grin that stretches from ear to ear, and floppy ears that practically vanish when he’s excited, this big guy is all heart and happiness. When he’s extra thrilled, he does the most endearing paw-slaps on the ground — you can’t help but smile back!
Despite all of his wonderful traits, Dilly has spent nearly his entire life at the shelter. We don’t know how he’s been overlooked for so long, but we do know that this boy is more than ready for a home of his own.
Dilly has grown up surrounded by all kinds of dogs and does incredibly well with them. He’d thrive in a multi-dog household or with regular trips to the dog park. In fact, we recommend he go to a home with at least one other confident pup to help show him the ropes of life outside the shelter.
This tall, lanky lovebug is also super smart and eager to please — especially if snacks are involved! He already knows commands like “Sit” and “Wait,” and walks nicely on a leash. With his curiosity and food motivation, he’s the perfect student if you’re looking to teach more.
Whether he’s on a walk, playing with doggy friends, or just lounging around with his favorite humans, Dilly is happiest when he’s part of the fun.
If you’re ready to give this long-legged lovebug the home he’s been dreaming of, give the Ranch a call and come meet Dilly today!
