Update 4/8/2020: Covid19 is boring! Mom and Dd sit at home at their computers all day long. I thought when they were home it was play time but they say they have to work. I am so proud of myself, and so are my fosters, as I walk like a really good boy now on a leash. Sure, I pull a little when I see a squirrel (it's a squirrel Mom) but otherwise I do really well. Car rides are fun and baths are OK- not my favorite but I like to be rubbed on so it works. I sure hope someone decides to make me their furever boy soon.
Update 2.19.20: Did we tell you that I snore! Sometimes I snore so loud my foster parents can't hear the TV. Maybe I am just feel so safe in the home I am just relaxed.
I love to run and play. I am getting better on not pulling (much :) ) when we go for walks. I took a trip to the pet store the other day to get a new harness. I was the best dog there. I sat and listened to what I was told. I got a cookie when we left for having such great manners.
Duke is an awesome dog. Previous vet guessed him at 5/6 years old but he acts more like a 2/3 year old. He loves to play fetch, tug-a-war (he always wins) chase with the other dogs and being loved on. If allowed, he would climb his 51 lbs up in your lap for a nap. We are working on his walking on a leash without pulling and he is anxious to please.
Duke needs a loving family he can be a part of. He came out of his shell once he was brought home.
Puppies that are under 4 months old cannot be adopted outside of our Veterinary Service area. Please call for specific locations.
Children under 8 years old often are not a good match for our puppies and dogs. In order to protect both, your child and our rescued dogs/puppies from harm, we seldom if ever adopt to families with young children.
Once your application is approved, we will schedule a meet and greet at one of our adoption events. Thank you for considering a rescue!
