About Declan
Meet Declan, a courageous German Shepherd with a remarkable story. Rescued just before his time was up in a kill shelter, Declan has been under the care of the Wylie Animal Rescue Foundation for over three years. This journey hasn't been easy; he came to us with significant injuries, including the loss of his left eye due to past trauma. Initially wary of strangers, Declan has made impressive strides in his socialization, now capable of meeting new people when introduced slowly and thoughtfully. Despite his protective instincts, Declan is a loyal companion to those he trusts, making him an excellent fit for a single woman who understands his needs. He enjoys having outdoor access to patrol his surroundings for safety but must be in a secure environment to prevent any encounters with unfamiliar people or animals. While he's learned to walk alongside other dogs, he prefers to be the only pet in the household. If you're looking for a special bond built on trust and commitment, Declan might just be waiting for you. A calm but confident adopter who is ready for multiple visits to establish a relationship will be ideal. Reach out if you’d like to know more about this resilient dog.
