Kevin came to the shelter after a kind Good Samaritan stepped in to help but the shelter environment quickly became overwhelming for him. Like many high-drive working breeds, Kevin thrives with structure and struggled with the stress of kennel life.
Kevin is a 4-year-old Dutch Shepherd mix with a big heart and even bigger energy. He is dog-friendly, potty trained, and crate trained. One of his favorite things? Affection. Kevin loves to solicit love by leaning in and giving his signature “hugs.”
Kevin has also successfully completed a 6-week board-and-train program, giving him a solid foundation in structure, obedience, and handler engagement.
Kevin can be mouthy or occasionally nippy, which is very typical shepherd/Dutchie behavior, especially when excitement isn’t properly channeled. This is not aggression. It's communication and enthusiasm from a smart, driven dog who needs continued guidance and consistency.
He is intelligent, powerful, and highly energetic, and he will do best with an experienced handler familiar with shepherd-type or working breeds. Kevin needs someone who can provide firm, loving leadership, clear boundaries, and most importantly a daily job. With structure and purpose, Kevin is focused, friendly, and incredibly loyal. Kevin also loves the water! So if you have a pool or enjoy going to the lake, he will love to take a dip!
Kevin is not a beginner dog, but for the right person, he will be an incredible partner. He’s looking for someone who understands his breed, appreciates his drive, and is ready to help him be his very best self.
If you’re experienced, active, and ready for a smart dog who thrives with training and structure then Kevin is your guy.
