August 2026 Pet of the Month: Dutch
Introducing Dutch, an energetic guy whose curiosity about the world around him is infectious! Dutch loves taking long investigative walks on which he sniffs everything in his path. He can be a little shy initially, but warms up quickly with the help of some tasty treats! Once he gets to know you, he blossoms into a goofy and playful companion.
He’s a smart pup and already knows commands like “sit,” “paw” and “down.” Some of Dutch’s favorite things are hot dogs, cheese, stuffed toys and tennis balls. He is a cuddly guy who loves to receive pets and lay his head on your lap.
Dutch will thrive best in a home without the hustle and bustle of other dogs or young children.
If you’re looking for a loyal, active buddy to share your adventures, you need to meet this handsome boy! Dutch has been waiting for a family of his own for more than 540 days. Visit San Diego Humane Society’s San Diego Campus to adopt him today!
