About Marma Duke

Lets make it official, apply to adopt! Marma Duke is Sugar’s brother and an extra special guy with a heart full of affection. He’s known for being a true sweetheart—always eager to share warmth and love with those he trusts. Marma Duke and Sugar have been best buddies through thick and thin, and while they’re happy together, they’re also ready to go to separate loving homes if needed. Marma Duke does require a bit of extra care. He’s recovered from a significant neck wound, which occasionally still causes some swelling. Because of this, he does best when walked with a harness for comfort and safety. When meeting new dogs, he might appreciate a slow introduction to be sure everyone gets along well. Even with his past challenges, Marma Duke’s spirit and loyalty shine through. He is searching for a caring family to love and accept him just as he is, promising to reward that love with devotion and companionship. If you’re hoping for a loyal companion with a big heart, Marma Duke would love to meet you. Whether adopted with Sugar or solo, he’s ready to bring gentle affection and joy into your life.
