Everyone Meet Duke
Duke is a very sweet boy who was found as a stray. He appears to be a boxer/staffy mix and is estimated to be about 1.5-2 years old. He is very smart, affectionate, and goofy. He loves attention, enjoys a nice comfy spot to lounge around in, and likes playing with his foster sister (although he is also content not playing/doing his own thing). He likes to chew on nylabones and will occasionally chase a ball. Duke is still working on the kinks on learning how to play. He is a medium energy dog who enjoys a walk and play session, but is pretty chill and content in a comfy spot most of the day. Duke likes to be included in whatever you’re doing and is always ready to jump in the car for a ride. So far, his dislikes seem to make for a short list: fireworks, sharing attention (not an issue though), and not being included in whatever’s going on.
Duke is good with other dogs and is being fostered with an older female dog. He has met a cat and did pretty well. A little interested. But nothing worrisome. He is very trainable and would probably do okay with a cat that’s used to dogs. It is unknown how he is with kids, but he is a sweet and tolerant guy so I dont see kids being an issue.
He is neutered, vaccinated, and has received a month of training. He knows sit, shake, down, stay, come, touch, and place. He is crate trained, house trained (no accidents), and is getting better every day on the leash. He learns very quickly! And loves training.
Duke can be a little shy at first, but he is a sucker for sweet talk and opens up pretty easily with affection and treats. He’s a very loyal dog and will make a great best friend for somebody!
Duke is up for adoption. We would prefer someone with a yard. But would be willing to consider and apartment. Other dogs in the home are alright as well as children and cats. Though he would need time to get use to all of them.
He’s had 1 month of training. But would also come with one free private training session.
