Meet Duke, a fabulous 18-month-old lab mix who is ready to steal your heart! 💖 Duke's journey has been quite the rollercoaster ride, starting from a tough past as part of a cruelty investigation. But you know what? This boy is a warrior! Despite his rocky beginning, he's shown an extraordinary resilience that has completely captivated everyone who's had the pleasure of meeting him. 🌟 Thanks to the loving support of a dedicated team of rescuers and trainers, Duke has blossomed beautifully. Picture this: a playful pup who thrives in a structured routine, loves mastering his commands, and is eager to soak up all the love and training he can get! He’s not just looking for a family; he’s in search of his forever humans who can continue his training journey and build on the amazing progress he’s made. 🎓 Duke is a snuggle bug who absolutely adores his human companions. 🥰 He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and even has a soft spot for cats! 🐱 Now, he hasn’t spent much time with young children, but he would surely flourish in a home with respectful teenagers who can offer the love and stability he's learned to thrive on. When it comes to downtime, Duke loves to curl up with his favorite humans after an adventurous day of play and training. When left alone, he feels safest in his cozy crate—a little haven where he can relax. This crate will be included to ensure his continued comfort in his new home. 🏡 Could Duke be the missing piece to your family puzzle?
