Duke is a gentle senior citizen who is back in the shelter after a stay in foster- here’s what we learned:

- Housebroken
- Crate trained
- Walks well on leash
- Enjoys hiking
- Affectionate
- Knows tricks
- Loves to be around people (needs slow intros to strangers)
- Loves car rides
- The BEST cuddle bug
- Would love to find a family who is home with him often

Duke is VERY popular at the shelter too- here’s what his friends have said:

“Today I walked Duke and we worked on his leash skills. He loves to sniff and is very affectionate. Duke knows sit, stay, down, come, shake, away, touch, go to bed, go to mat…shall I go on?”

“Today Duke and I had a great walk together. He has abundant curiosity and loves investigating various smells on his walk. Over the course of our short time out together, his leash manners improved rapidly once he got out that initial excitement. We had a pleasant walk together, enjoying the sunshine. He is a fun and cheerful little guy with a radiant smile.”

“What a friendly and energetic pal! Duke was well-behaved and seems very responsive to his walker. We went to a play yard and practiced his tricks. He was so attentive and smart. We ended our time with a belly rub.”

“I’ve been spending time with Duke since he returned to the shelter, and he is a very sweet, people-oriented boy. He does a good “sit” and “paw” and is very treat motivated. He enjoys being pet all over and makes good eye contact. The last time I had him out, he did some adorable army crawls then would roll over for belly rubs! This poor guy has had a rough time since he returned to the shelter, and really needs a patient and understanding forever home.”

Duke is looking for a special home where he can be near his people as much as possible and can have a yard to run around in. He’s been appropriate and independent when meeting other dogs in playgroup and would like to meet any resident dogs before heading home to make sure it’s a good fit. He would also thrive as your one and only. Please ask to meet Duke today!
