Meet Dutton:
Dutton made it safely to Wisconsin on 11/15 and is settling in wonderfully in his foster home! He’s a super sweet and cuddly pup who is getting along great with the other dogs and starting to feel completely at home. Dutton is also working on all the puppy basics, including potty training, crate training, and leash manners.
From a rough start to a second chance, Dutton is ready to shine. He’s part of the Yellowstone litter — Beth, Teeter, Dutton, Rip, and Kayce — who came into a Georgia kill shelter after being surrendered. While it’s hard to guess the exact breed since each pup is a little different, Dutton and his siblings are all slightly fluffy and are expected to grow into large dogs.
At just 9 weeks old and around 10 lbs, Dutton is thriving and his sweet, playful personality is shining through. He’s curious, affectionate, and ready for a loving forever home.
