Dutton loves snuggling, exploring, and being wherever his favorite humans are. He's amazingly quiet for a Pomeranian, potty trained, trustworthy in the house, and wonderful with other dogs.

But here's the important part.

Dutton's trust has to be EARNED.

He's come such a long way, but new people can still be scary. He's not the kind of dog who will fall in love with you during a 15-minute meet-and-greet.
