Meet Dutch, a delightful 8-year-old gentleman who is just bursting with love to give! 🎉 This lovely soul, weighing around 84 lbs, came to the shelter under pretty tough circumstances—his dear breeder, who had given him so much joy, could no longer care for him due to her declining health. Just imagine how Dutch must have felt during that transition, leaving behind everything he knew to find a fresh start! 💔 But don’t fret! Dutch had a heartfelt spa day shortly after arriving, where he made some new furry friends and got all pampered up. 🐾 However, things took a turn when he faced some serious health scares. Dutch bravely battled GVD (bloat), and thanks to some incredibly talented emergency vets, he’s back to being the life of the party! Now, he’s ready to find a loving, Saint Bernard-savvy family to call his own. ❤️ Dutch is sweet-natured and mild-mannered, though he’s a little shy when it comes to new faces or unfamiliar settings—this just means he needs the right family to help build up his confidence. 🥰 Understanding and patient, that’s what Dutch needs! He’s not had much experience being a house dog, so a little bit of training is needed—think of it as an adventure in potty training, where he can learn and grow. As for friends, Dutch absolutely adores other dogs and would thrive in a household where he can mingle with fur-siblings. If there's a cozy spot on the couch or a patch of sunshine for a snooze, Dutch is your guy! 🤗 If you are looking to welcome a sweet, gentle giant into your heart and home, Dutch may just be the perfect match for you! His adoption fee is $152, which comes with lots of loving perks, including vet checks and a fabulous vaccine lineup. Just remember, adoptions are done in person, so Dutch is waiting for you to come meet him—be sure to apply through the Buddy App! 🌈 Applying through the Buddy App is the first step to bringing this beautiful boy into your life! Come on, folks, let’s show Dutch that he’s not just a number at the shelter but a cherished member of a loving family! 🏡💖
