Meet Duke, a striking 3-and-a-half-year-old American Pit Bull Terrier mix who's ready to steal hearts! This dapper gentleman was handed over to the Washington County Ohio Warden on May 29, 2025, because of a bit of a doggy disagreement at home. But let's not focus on the past; instead, let's talk about this vibrant personality waiting for a fresh start! 🌟 Duke sportsthat gorgeous black-and-white coat, complete with stunning brown and mahogany highlights—such a showstopper! 🖤🤍 His long tail and symmetrically-marked face, complemented by those soulful dark brown eyes and a sweet milk chocolate nose, make him an absolute heartthrob. With those floppy ears just begging for scritches, how could anyone resist? Just recently, Duke had a chance to soak up some sunshine while taking a much-needed break from his smaller indoor kennel. While enjoying the great outdoors, he was absolutely determined to stay close to the fence, eager to meet all the friendly faces nearby. It was so touching to see this love bug connect with the world around him—a real charmer! 🌈 Taking some cute indoor shots was a bit of a juggling act, moving him to a cozy floor crate while other larger pups got their turn. 😅 The shelter is buzzing with activity, especially for big boys like Duke, who weigh in at a solid 68.2 lbs. And let’s be real—he’s got some power on that leash! 💪 For Duke's new family, it’s essential to know that he will be neutered before heading home. Plus, our dedicated team will be working closely to assess his dog selectivity because we truly want to set him up for happiness in his new life. If you're ready to open your heart and home to this lovable guy, it’s time to make magic happen! Don't hesitate—apply to adopt Duke through the Buddy App! Help him begin this beautiful new chapter! ❤️📲
