About Duke

Meet Duke, a thoughtful and regal one-year-old Great Dane mix. Weighing in at around 80 pounds, he’s athletic and built for sprinting, though he enjoys a more contemplative pace as he stalks through tall grass like a sleek jungle cat. Duke loves entertaining himself with solo fetch sessions using rubber balls and stray walnuts. Despite his noble demeanor, he transforms into a goofy, affectionate companion the moment belly scratches come into play. His gentleness shines through, especially with small children, as he takes treats from tiny palms with utmost care. Calm and respectful with cats, he’s a great fit for a variety of homes. While he would happily enjoy a big, fenced yard with his brother, Cash, he's ready to shine as an independent buddy too. If you’re looking for an intelligent and soulful companion, Duke is eager to meet you!
