✨ Meet Duke! This extraordinary soul is looking for a forever home where he can shine and thrive! Duke was surrendered on December 31, 2025, due to unfortunate circumstances stemming from a divorce, and now this magnificent creature is ready for a second chance at a loving family. 🏡 Once a proud outdoor guardian of goats, Duke has quite the interesting backstory. He has proven himself as a diligent protector, fearlessly facing snakes (including the fearsome cottonmouth!) and even playfully headbutting billy goats. 🐐 Talk about skills! His prior life on the farm has equipped him with instinctual livestock guardian abilities, and while we’re currently assessing his aptitude for that role, he could be a perfect fit for a loving LGD home. But wait, there’s more! Duke simply adores splashing around in the rain and mud, spinning in pure joy like he’s dancing with the clouds. ☔️💃 There’s a childlike enthusiasm about him that’s utterly contagious! Now, let's keep it real – Duke isn't a fan of surprises. He might raise an eyebrow at new people reaching for his collar or offering treats with a flat hand; it seems that he may have had a rough start in life. 🙈 Think of him as an old soul who values his space – but once he trusts, he’ll be your devoted companion. He does take treats, just remember to pinch them! Duke has been neutered, and he’ll be getting his shots and a microchip before he finds his new home. He’s also a little behind on his heartworm medication, but don’t worry – he’ll be tested and treated before he makes the leap into your life. 🩺 Remember, this wonderful dog truly deserves love and patience to help him flourish.
