About Hutch

Hutch is an 11-week-old German Shepherd/Pit mix who’s spent his early days outside but now is safe and adjusting to life as a family dog in Fort Worth, TX. He’s the biggest of his litter, already around 28 lbs, and he brings a bold spirit and plenty of energy to every room. Those oversized ears only add to his charm—and his confidence matches his size. Hutch dives headfirst into new experiences, always curious and ready to play with other dogs around him. He’s described as friendly, social, and the brave explorer of his group. He’s working hard on potty training, though still requires the consistency any young puppy needs. Hutch has received all age-appropriate vaccines, is dewormed and microchipped, and his adoptive family will just need to take him in for his rabies vaccine when he’s old enough, which is included in his adoption fee. Hutch is looking for a family ready to help him keep growing into the confident dog he’s meant to be. Think you are the one? Submit an application!
