About Duke

Duke is a sweet, playful, and smart puppy who loves to cuddle. Though still just a baby, he already charms everyone he meets. Duke needs a patient family ready to guide him with consistent puppy training. His foster guesses he’s a German Shorthaired Pointer mix, but what truly stands out is his fun spirit, not his pedigree. He’s working on crate training and making progress, but isn’t fully potty trained yet—which is normal for his age. Duke gets along great with the other dogs in his foster home and shows curious, gentle interest in the resident cats. He’s also known to do well with children. Anyone considering Duke should be prepared for the lovable chaos and constant learning that comes with a growing puppy. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
