About this Dog
Meet Dutch: The Journey of a Transformed Companion Howdy partner! My name is Duchesne, but my friends call me Dutch. I’m a 1.5-year-old Border Collie mix, weighing in at 45 pounds. My story began on the Duchesne Ute Reservation, where I lived in a feral state for the first year of my life. Rescued from a hoarding situation, I was initially fearful and apprehensive. Establishing a connection with me took three months, but with patience and love, I began to trust my human caregivers. To help me grow, I participated in various training initiatives, including the Kudos to Canine Bright Beginnings course, the Confident Canine course, and a three-day workshop tailored for feral dogs. Today, I am a transformed dog, always wearing a smile and displaying affection towards my human caregivers. I am potty trained and prefer sleeping on my dog bed, but I am also crate trained and like to sleep in my crate during the day. I play well with other dogs and love walks, hikes, and adventures. I enjoy playing at the park and have been gentle with children. While I do have a herding instinct, I only use my nose to poke at you for attention, never nipping. I am such a sweet dog and very loving. I adore snuggles and pets. My journey from a fearful pup to a confident and loving companion is a testament to the power of patience, training, and love. If you’re looking for a smart, adventurous, and loving companion, look no further—Duchesne, or Dutch, is your guy! apply to meet today : @https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication
Contribute to Duchesne's Stash!
100% of Duchesne's balance will be sent to whoever adopts Duchesne.
Adopt Duchesne and Receive Duchesne's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Duchesne's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Duchesne's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Duchesne, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Duchesne's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Duchesne was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Duchesne’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Duchesne’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Duchesne’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
