About Duke

Duke is a big German Shepherd with an even bigger heart. His foster describes him as a "big teddy bear" who loves being part of whatever is happening. Duke shows no aggression toward people or other animals in his foster home. He’s met other dogs, a cat, and even chickens, handling those introductions with grace when supervised. His curiosity drives him to remain close to his person, and when he once found a weak spot in the fence, he didn’t run off; he just wanted to be near his foster on the other side. As a large shepherd, Duke may not have received the indoor manners and training he needed early on. He’ll thrive with a family willing to provide structure, consistency, and patience. He's learning quickly and has shown he can listen and follow directions. Deep down, Duke seeks a simple yet profound connection: a person to belong to. Duke doesn’t require a perfect home; he just needs commitment. If you’re ready to teach, include him in your life, and provide the security he craves, Duke might just be the right companion for you. Let this big teddy bear find his forever home with you!
