Meet Duke! Duke is a 3-year-old Collie, Border/Shepherd, Australian mix weighing in at 35 lbs. This sweet and friendly boy has a heart full of love and a personality that shines. He enjoys being around people, happily soaking up attention, and he's always motivated by a good treat. Duke is an active breed who thrives with regular exercise, mental stimulation, and a consistent routine. He'll do best with a family that can keep him engaged and provide the structure he needs to succeed. Duke would be best as the only dog in the home so he can enjoy all the attention to himself. He would also do best in a home with adults or older teens who can match his energy and help continue his training. As a young dog, Duke is still learning and will benefit from continued guidance. With patience, consistency, and the right family, he has all the potential to grow into the perfect companion. To help ensure the best match for both Duke and his future family, an in-person meet and greet at our shelter is required. This allows everyone to get to know each other and make sure it's the perfect fit. If you're looking for a loyal, loving dog to grow with, Duke might just be your guy. ------ Before being rescued, many of our dogs had limited socialization, so they may need some time to adjust to life as a family pet. Older kids are often a great fit for our dogs, and homes with younger children will be considered based on each dog's individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may take a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of these dogs adapt quite quickly. Being a part of their rehabilitation is a truly rewarding experience. To learn more about mill dogs and start the adoption process, visit our website!
