🌟 Meet Duke Kirby! This remarkable 5-year-old Rottweiler has a story that will tug at your heartstrings. Imagine a dog who has faced more challenges than any furry friend should endure, and yet, here he is, still wagging his tail with pure love and sweetness to share! Coming in at just 75lbs, he’s on a journey back to health—should be well over 100 pounds—but that doesn’t dim his spirit one bit! 💖 Duke Kirby’s journey began when a kind-hearted woman spotted him wandering outside a Walgreens, his big brown eyes silently screaming for help. He walked right up to her as if destiny had finally sent someone to notice him. This gentle giant had been adopted from a shelter back in May, but, heartbreakingly, somewhere along the way, he was tossed aside like yesterday's news. The specifics of his past years are a mystery, but one thing shines brightly: this handsome boy deserves all the love and care the world can offer. Against all odds, Duke Kirby radiates warmth. He thrives on human affection and is just the sweetest companion you'll ever meet. His energy is perfect for cozy evenings on the couch or leisurely strolls in the park—he's got a lovely low to medium energy vibe! 🚗 He rides great in the car, listens like a pro, and is a total gentleman on the leash. Although he hasn’t had the chance to meet dogs or children yet in his foster home, he’s already shown that he gets along splendidly with cats. With a proper introduction, he’s bound to befriend everyone in no time! 🐾 Medically, he’s doing well aside from heartworms, starting his treatment next week, and showing incredible resilience. Duke Kirby is living proof that a good dog can survive even the toughest of times. He’s now just searching for that special someone to guide him into a brighter chapter of life filled with love and adventure! 🐶✨ So, if you’re ready to make a difference in Duke Kirby's life, put your heart into action!
