Meet Duke, the lovable furball who's just bursting with potential! 🌟 Duke was born on November 24th, and while he’s had a bit of a rocky start, he’s ready to find a true forever home where he can experience the love he deserves! This gorgeous pup weighs in at just over 50 lbs of pure cuddly joy. Can you imagine him snuggling next to you on the sofa, gently resting his head on your lap? 🛋️ Sadly, Duke was returned to rescue because his previous family said they were 'done,' but let's be real, folks: who could be 'done' with such a sweet companion? This heartwarming pooch has clearly been a couch buddy, but we suspect he might not have felt the love that fills our hearts. 🥺 He sleeps quietly in a big crate at night but has a playful spirit that shines through when he’s with his toys, often snoozing with a favorite toy in his mouth. Now that’s adorable! 🐾 Duke gets along with other dogs and seems to be a social butterfly—if by butterfly we mean a strong pup who might just want to make new friends and play! 🦋 He has barked at the resident cat, but don't worry; he hasn’t shown any aggressive behavior; he’s merely curious about his potential furry buddy! However, being a strong boy, Duke needs a fenced yard since he’s not yet used to the leash. When he visited the vet, he was an absolute darling, charming the staff and getting perfect check-ups. But he needs someone soft-spoken and patient to help him adjust to all the love and attention he truly deserves! 💖 And yes, his adoptive path starts with fostering; this allows Duke to thrive in a nurturing environment before finding his forever home. If your heart is ready to welcome this precious boy into your life, don’t wait—*apply through the Buddy App* today! Duke is eagerly waiting to find that special someone to snuggle up with and share all the love he has to offer. 🥰 Together, let's find Duke the family he truly deserves!
