Description
Dog Breed: Dutch Shepherd. Meet Striker – and help us score his biggest win yet. Connecticut Striker has all the qualities you'd want in the perfect teammate—he just needs someone willing to give him a chance. This handsome Dutch Shepherd is athletic, intelligent, and full of drive. He loves to play tug, works enthusiastically for food, and already knows some basic obedience. With continued training and structure, there's no limit to what this boy can accomplish. But before he can start his next chapter, Striker needs a MAD foster or adopter ASAP. Striker came to us after his elderly owner experienced significant hardship and could no longer care for him. Through no fault of his own, he lost the only home he knew. Now he's waiting, wondering who's going to choose him next. During his evaluation, Striker impressed everyone. He showed excellent engagement with people, walked nicely on leash, displayed no resource guarding, and remained calm and neutral around small dogs in nearby kennels. He's eager to connect with his person and is ready to thrive with someone who enjoys an active lifestyle. Every day Striker waits is another day he spends without a home of his own. Fostering saves lives—it gives dogs like Striker a safe place to land while they wait for their forever family. And if you've been looking for an incredible adventure partner, he may just be the teammate you've been waiting for. Can you foster? Ready to adopt? Please apply today or share this post. Sometimes the right person is only one share away. Let's help Striker score the forever home he deserves. All MAD dogs come with a Fi Collar and 6 month subscription.

Breed overview
Holland Shepherd
A.K.A.: Dutch Shepherd, Dutchie, Hollandse Herder, Herder
Overview:
The Hollandse Herdershond, or Dutch Shepherd, is a versatile and intelligent breed originating from the Netherlands, where they were traditionally used by shepherds and farmers for herding and guarding livestock. Physically, they are a medium-sized dog with a powerful, muscular build, typically weighing between 50-70 pounds and standing 21-25 inches tall. Their coats come in three varieties: short-haired, long-haired, and wire-haired, all displaying the breed's distinctive brindle pattern in shades of gold or silver. Temperamentally, Dutch Shepherds are known for their strong work ethic, loyalty, and unwavering devotion to their families. They are highly trainable and excel in various dog sports like obedience, agility, and protection work. While generally good with children, their high energy levels and need for mental stimulation make them better suited for active families with experience in dog ownership, rather than first-time owners or those in apartment settings. Like many active breeds, they can be prone to hip and elbow dysplasia, making responsible breeding and regular veterinary check-ups important for their long-term health.
