About Dutch

**Fostered in Mobile, Alabama** Meet Dutch! This big-hearted Great Dane puppy is around 15 months old and is still figuring out his adult dog responsibilities, though he excels at being a cuddly companion. Dutch has a knack for snuggling, making him a delightful addition to any home. His size and playful energy make him great with older children, but he might be too enthusiastic for younger kids. On his walks, Dutch showed no interest in cats, but his compatibility at home remains to be seen; a dog-savvy cat might do well with him after proper introductions. He's already mastered potty training and alerts you when he needs to go outside. Dutch walks nicely on a leash and is well-behaved during outings, though he still needs some guidance to keep all four paws on the ground if food is around. He’s learning crate training, and while he’s not a fan, treats help him settle in. Dutch loves his toys, frozen treats, and, of course, snuggling with his humans. He would happily take over your bed if you let him! He's made great strides in his health, gaining strength and muscle while correcting some minor physical issues. This playful pup needs a loving family committed to further training and growth. If you're looking for a goofy yet affectionate companion who will fill your heart and your bed, Dutch might be the perfect fit! He’s neutered, microchipped, updated on vaccinations, and on heartworm prevention. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
