About Duke

Duke catches attention right away with those striking eyes and calm confidence. He started life with a family but somehow found himself in a shelter, no fault of his own. He’s a white and cream Husky/Pit Bull Terrier mix, just around a year and a half old, and he genuinely enjoys the company of other dogs—he fits in easily and gets along with cats too. Kids aren’t a problem for him either. Out on walks, Duke settles quickly on the leash and has a good sense of the world around him, though meeting new people does get him a little excited at first; he’ll probably jump up but not in a mean way—he just wants to say hello.
