About Deuce

Deuce is about 8 years old and carries himself with the calm, steady air you find in big breeds. He weighs in at 90 pounds and splits most of his time between relaxed lounging and playful bursts of energy. Right now, he’s thriving in a foster home where he’s proven to be fully house trained and social with other dogs—currently living with both an older male and a younger female dog. He loves hikes, car rides, and any activity that pairs him with people or canine friends. Deuce knows his commands well, including sit, down, high five, shake, wait, stay, off, and leave it. He needs an adopter who is savvy and ready to keep him mentally engaged—someone who can give clear structure and enjoys having an active companion. While he showed some food guarding while in the kennel, his foster has not seen this behavior at home, though ongoing supervision is important. Deuce is best suited for an adult-only home, ideally with a fenced yard for his adventures. He gets along well with other dogs, but an experienced adopter is a must. Ready to meet him?
