Meet Duke! Duke is an energetic, lovable, goofy boy with a big personality and an even bigger zest for life. He’s smart, affectionate, and full of enthusiasm. An “excited, lovable turd” in the very best way.
Once Duke feels comfortable, his true personality shines: playful, loyal, and always ready for his next adventure. Duke enjoys structure and routine and does best when clear rules are set and consistently followed.
He’s very food motivated (especially when it comes to treats and human food), but he has been trained to receive food in specific ways to help him stay focused and calm. Continuing this structure will be important in his forever home.
Here’s what Duke is looking for in a forever family:
Experienced owners – Duke needs confident leadership, consistency, and routines. He is smart and eager to please when expectations are clear.
Active lifestyle – He needs daily exercise, ideally longer leash walks at least twice a day, and would love a fenced yard to run, play fetch, and burn off energy.
Dog companionship – Duke would do well with another energetic, playful dog who can match his enthusiasm.
Calm introductions – He meets new adults well when given space and time to approach on his own terms.
No small children – He is not a good fit for homes with young kids but may be okay with respectful teenagers.
Structure at home – He settles well when left alone (up to about 4 hours), does not destroy items, and patiently waits for his people to return.
Duke is a loyal, goofy, affectionate companion who will thrive in the right home, one that embraces his energy, provides structure, and includes him as part of the family.
With the right guidance and plenty of activity, Duke will be an incredible lifelong friend.
