Dutton

When we first met Dutton, he was skin and bones - more scabby, flaky skin than anything else. He was riddled with pretty much every kind of skin, yeast, and ear infection that you can think of. He was so unhealthy and malnourished that our vet didn’t even feel comfortable giving him vaccines. He was scared and shutdown, barely moving an inch or two at a time on or off leash. Never once mean, but seemingly resigned to the fact that his life wouldn’t ever get better<br/><br/>Fast forward a few months and this boy is<br/><br/>finally<br/><br/>healthy enough to be full vaccinated and neutered<br/><br/>Once weighing in at only 40 pounds with a wirey, muted coat, he is now filled out to a perfect 61 pounds and his gorgeous brindle coat is softer than ever. (Peep how teeny tiny he was in the last photo<br/><br/>) With the help of his incredible foster family, he has come out of his shell and works to conquer the scary world every day. We say all the time that he reminds us of call Flower the skunk from Bambi - soft and delicate, but joyful and so full of life as long as he has his support system by his side<br/><br/>Dutton is the whole trifecta: cat, dog, AND kid friendly<br/><br/>He is house and crate trained too! His ideal home is one with a built in bestie that can help him continue to grow and build his confidence, with patient parents who are willing to show him that the good in the world far outweighs the bad. He very quickly discovered a love of couch corners so only pro “dog on the couch” applicants please<br/><br/>If that sounds like you, you know what to do!
