About Duke

Meet Duke, a 12-week-old sweetheart who’s ready for his forever home. He’s said to be a border collie mix, but the truth is we’re not entirely sure of his exact mix. We estimate he will reach around 40-45 pounds when fully grown. Duke is making great progress with his house training and currently lives with both dogs and kids. He thrives in an active environment and would love a fenced-in yard where he can run and play. Duke is not yet altered, and while he hasn't been vaccinated yet, he will soon be up to date with his age-appropriate shots. He has been dewormed and is microchipped, plus he's on preventative treatments for fleas, ticks, and heartworms. His adoption fee is sponsored at $0, making it easier for you to bring him home. If you think you could be the perfect match for this playful pup, please fill out an adoption application to get started. Adoptions are taking place in Fenton and Waterford.
