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

Needs a 5 ft+ fenced yard

What happens next

  1. Contact Needy Paws Rescue using the button. AdoptNearby does not take applications.
  2. They will send you their application or ask a few questions about your home.
  3. Most organizations arrange a meet, sometimes a home visit, then a small adoption fee that usually covers spay or neuter and vaccines. That fee is paid to Needy Paws Rescue, never to AdoptNearby.
  4. Read the dogs care guide so you arrive prepared.
