Dutton
Labrador Retriever / Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · Adult (1 year 6 months) · Male · Large · Saint Louis, MO
Notes from Needy Paws Rescue
Meet Dutton! Dutton could run a masterclass on How To Be A Good Dog. He LOVES other dogs, adores children — he seriously lights up with kids — and waits by the door when it's time to potty outside. He's been fostered with three kids between ages 5 and 7 and one temperamental female dog, and he handles it all like a champ.
Dutton isn't a fan of the crate yet, but he's learning it's a safe space. He sleeps through the night on his own dog bed, doesn't show any signs of resource guarding, and is a total snuggler. He's still building confidence and working on recall. He'll need a canine sibling in his new home and at least a 5 ft fenced yard.

~2 years + 70 lbs
Loves dogs (requires a K9 sibling)
Obsessed with kids
Housetrained
Crate training in progress
Sleeps through the night
Total snuggler
Needs a 5 ft+ fenced yard
