Dog Names Ending in 'lyn' in Pop Culture
Brooklyn was a dog living in New York City (seems appropriate!). However, her life took a turn when he bit a young girl on the calf and punctured her skin. While the girl was checked at a local hospital and found to be fine, Brooklyn was taken into custody. The city declared her to be a menace and she was sentenced to an early trip to doggy heaven.
Then, after months in the pound waiting for her final days, Brooklyn was rescued by a group called the Lexus Project. This animal rescue group saves dogs from death row and tries to rehabilitate them. The Lexus Project met the requirements to be appointed as Brooklyn's guardian but they did not meet the initial appointed needs the city set to be able to set the dog free. Again the city signed the papers to have Brooklyn euthanized but the Lexus group continued to protest.
The Lexus project claimed that Brooklyn only bit the girl as an isolated incident and that she was not a dangerous dog. The group advocated for Brooklyn stating that she had been provoked by the girl and felt threatened which is why she bit. With these powerful pup-saving people by her side, Brooklyn was given a second chance. The Lexus group secured her a safe home outside of the city (one of the stipulations of Brooklyn's release was that she be placed in a home out of urban areas) and Brooklyn was once again saved. She will soon be relaxing, free at last, in her new home far away from crowds!
Jocelyn is another locally famous dog who has made the news recently. Jocelyn was found by a Florida truck stop where she was abandoned and acting skittish, not letting anyone get close to her. A dog trap was set and after just one night, Jocelyn was found inside the humane trap and brought to a rescue league. With multiple injuries, Jocelyn was set to be euthanized. However, after seeing the story on Facebook, a local couple called the rescue league and said they would adopt Jocelyn - it was just moments before she was set to go to doggy heaven!
Dogs like Brooklyn and Jocelyn show us that all dogs deserve a second chance!
Dog Names Ending in 'lyn' Considerations
The next thing you should consider when taking a look at names ending in "lyn" is how the first half of the name sounds with that musical ending. When you come across a name you like, say it out loud a few times, even yell it as if you were calling your pup from across the yard. Does it roll off your tongue easily? Do you love how it sounds? If so, that name is a strong contender!
Look at the meaning behind each "lyn" name to help choose one that suits your dog's personality. The name Roslyn means 'red-haired boy' so it may not suit a little white female dog. Name meanings can hold a lot of weight when considering what to name your dog!
While your dog's full name is extremely important, think about nicknames for your pup as well. If a certain name doesn't have any good short versions, you may want to search for another!
