Duke came to the rescue after his original owner lost their home, and he’s looking for someone who isn’t easily intimidated by his energy. Once a classic Blue Merle, Duke’s coat has darkened with age, but his big ears and bright presence are just as striking. He’s full of life—running, jumping, and constantly on the move. Springboarding onto people when he gets excited is a habit from his old life, and while his fosterers are working on this, he still does it now and then, so he’s not a fit around younger children, older adults, or anyone unsteady on their feet. Toys are a real pleasure for him—he’s rough enough to enjoy them but gentle enough that they always survive another round. Duke is not suitable for homes with cats, as he’s likely to chase. Ideally, he’d be an only dog, but supervised meetings have shown he can sometimes manage short stretches with other dogs. Someone active, confident, and ready to keep up with his enthusiasm will find Duke a fun project. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
