Meet Dutch!
Dutch is a happy, playful pup with a big personality and an even bigger heart. If there's fun to be had, Dutch is ready for it! He loves romping around with other dogs and will happily try to convince cats to join in the fun, even if they aren't quite as enthusiastic as he is. Dutch has plenty of energy and confidence when playing. He holds his own with larger dogs and loves an active play session. He can be a little persistent when playtime is over and doesn't always catch subtle signals that another dog is finished, but he responds appropriately when corrected. Dutch has shown interest in cats and wants very badly to play with them, often chasing them when they run and barking back when they hiss. He has been wonderful with children, showing gentleness and curiosity. Dutch hasn't had much leash experience yet, but he is eager to learn and highly trainable, enjoying being with his people. House training is a work in progress, but with consistency and patience, he will continue to make progress. He sleeps in a crate at night with some initial protest and loves snuggling with his favorite stuffed animal. Dutch is sweet and easygoing around food and people, showing no signs of food aggression and being very food-motivated. He has a moderate-to-high energy level and would love a home with a yard. Dutch adapts well to different home environments as long as he is surrounded by love. If you're looking for a loyal, playful companion who adores people, loves making friends, and is always ready for the next adventure, Dutch may be the perfect addition to your family.
