✨ Meet Duke, the cuddly lovebug with a heart bursting with affection! This sweet boy has been in foster care for a little too long, and now his wonderful foster family is heading off on a long vacation🧳. Duke is on the lookout for a new foster or, even better, a forever home where he can bring joy for years to come! Duke is the kind of calm sweetheart who thrives in the sunshine, stretching out and soaking in those warm rays☀️. But don't be fooled by his laid-back demeanor; this intelligent pup listens like a pro and follows directions very well! His walks? Oh, they’re more like sniff-tastic explorations where every little smell is a story waiting to be uncovered🕵️‍♂️. While he loves people, he tends to take a minute to warm up, but once he does, you'll see that his heart is open wide! Now let’s spill the tea on his quirks: he’s super treat motivated, which means training is a breeze with some tasty rewards🍪! Duke adjusts beautifully to new routines—just give him a little time and some love. He can get a smidge jumpy at times, so younger kiddos might not be the best fit. But rest assured, he’s all about bonding with everyone, especially men, though he’s an equal opportunity snuggler at heart🤗. When it’s time to recharge, Duke isn’t just about those sweet cuddles, though he adores being close to his humans. He’s learned to respect his own sleeping spot at night, ensuring sweet dreams for all! With a little more socialization, he could be a fantastic buddy for other dogs; he’s shown no signs of aggression, but a bit of guidance in doggie play would serve him well🐾. While Duke's tall tales of joy include chasing squeaky toys and dreaming of the day he'll have a forever family, one thing to note is that his past has made him curious about cats—so a home without feline friends is best! At almost 3 years old, Duke is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, making him ready to become the star of your home✨. If Duke has tugged at your heartstrings, don’t wait!
