Duke A2455590, is a 4-year-old, heartworm positive, neutered, 87 lb dog who’s looking for a second chance.
DUKE was surrendered to the PRC after no longer getting along with the resident dog, and his previous family could no longer care for him. Since his arrival, the shelter life has taken a toll. While being kenneled Duke struggles and does not show well.
While outside of his kennel, Duke begins to relax. He’ll explore the yard, slowly decompress, and eventually seek out gentle affection. He allows pets and maintains a loose, relaxed posture once he feels more secure. In playgroup, Duke has been marked gentle dainty and selective—he can coexist with calm dogs, but he likely does best with slow introductions or as a solo companion while he decompresses.
Duke is not thriving , and he deserves so much more. Due to his FAS, he truly needs a rescue or adoption. Someone that can give him space, time, and structure.
