Meet Duke! This handsome boy is a whirlwind of energy and joy! 🌪️ His love for playtime is infectious, and he's ready to impress you with his fetching skills. You see, Duke didn't just come from nowhere. He was found as a stray in Mississippi, but don't let that fool you—this delightful fellow had been neutered and even knows basic commands, hinting that he had a previous home. Sadly, no one came to claim him, leaving him in the local shelter, but good news for you! Duke is ready to find a family where he can strut his stuff! At about 5 years old and weighing in at a lean 46 pounds, Duke is almost potty trained, knows how to walk on a leash, and has mastered sit, stay, and fetch. Want to see a pro? When he’s ready for you to throw a toy, he’ll drop it and back up like a canine John Travolta! 💃 But a little heads-up: if he's eyeing something he desires, he might give a playful snappy warning. Not to worry, though—this boy listens well once corrected. Duke is in search of an active home—preferably one with a big yard where he can unleash his playful spirit! 🌳🏃‍♂️ If the heart races at the thought of a furry companion who can keep up with an on-the-go lifestyle, then Duke just may be the paw-some partner you’re looking for! But hold your horses (or should we say dogs), it gets even better! Duke is a Shepherd/Doberman Pinscher mix, and fun fact, Doberman Pinschers are known for their loyalty and intelligence—Duke has both in spades! 💖 Plus, he’s already neutered, vaccinated, heartworm negative, and microchipped—ready to jump straight into a loving home! Duke is currently located in Mississippi, and while he’s being cared for at a foster-based rescue, potential adopters must meet him in person. Let’s make it happen! The adoption fee is $550, which includes the transport fee when applicable. If you have a big heart, a playful spirit, and a loving home to offer, Duke could very well be your new best friend. You can bookmark his profile and keep an eye on him in the Buddy App while you prepare to welcome him into your life! 🧡 Remember, to adopt Duke, make sure you apply through the Buddy App!
