Duke – Yellow Male, 7 yrs, 68 lbs
Are you ready for a new best friend?
Say hello to Duke, a handsome, golden-coated gentleman with a heart as big as his smile. Duke is all about loyalty, love, and long walks in the sunshine. He’s the kind of dog who will be your ride-or-die best friend—always ready for an adventure or a quiet evening on the couch.
This active middle aged boy is far from “old” in fact he still has pep in his step and plenty of energy to be a jogging buddy or a hiking partner.
He has been a very good boy in his foster home, as the only dog he learned to sleep in a crate and did so well he graduated to sleeping loose inside in just a few days.
Duke thrives in a one-dog kingdom, so ideally he’s looking for a home where he can be the only pet and have all the attention he deserves. With people, he’s affectionate, goofy, and eager to please. He’s got some basic manners under his belt and would love to keep learning with his forever family.
Meeting other dogs gets Duke very excited and over stimulated. While he could likely adapt to a multi dog family, it would take more savvy dog owners to integrate him, which is why we suggest perhaps he be the only dog. It’s not an impossibility, but he does have some anxious tendencies in the crate and may need time to warm up to other pets.
Duke was given the chance to meet a kitty at the shelter and seemed to be ok with the kitty, most importantly he loves having a stuffed toy in his mouth. With a toy he’s extra happy, it’s his security binky or pacifier you might say!
If you’re ready to give Duke the loving, one-and-only kind of home he’s dreaming of, he’ll repay you with unwavering loyalty and endless tail wags. Come meet your new best friend today!
