A volunteer writes:
"Sealed with a kiss"... Dutch's former owner gave Dutch a big red lipstick kiss on his forehead as she left him with us. Running into personal difficulties which forced her to surrender him to our care, we are told that he lived with 1 adult and 1 teen, lived with other dogs and likes to play, is friendly to all, knows 'sit', "get your leash", 'no', 'relax', and is housetrained. It is clear that Dutch was much loved and well taken care of. His coat is lush and clean, he's social and friendly to all people and other dogs, and is a delight to spend time with. Showing off his housetraining skills, Dutch takes care of business as soon as we are out the door. His tail wags in happiness and he went into the play position with me. He loves meeting other dogs, wagging his tail happily at all we met. Demonstrating good leash manners, he pulls slightly from time to time but is completely manageable. Posing for photos like a pro, he makes wonderful soft eye contact, his eyes merry and intelligent. He showed me his 'sit' and took treats gently from my hand. I tethered him to the fence as I took some notes and he lay down at my feet waiting patiently. Dutch is looking for a new home where he can show off his good manners, and have a person or family to take care of again. He aced his behavior assessment indicating he will be a good fit in just about any family situation. Come give Dutch your own kiss... he's waiting for you.
