Meet Dutton, a 1-year-old male Chihuahua mix who came to AFA through a shelter transfer. He is energetic but shy and nervous around new people, and may need more than one visit to feel comfortable. Once he warms up, Dutton is a loyal companion who enjoys sitting on laps, getting pets, running, and playing. With patience, love, and understanding, he is ready to come out of his shell and begin his next chapter.
