About Duke

Meet Duke, the gentle giant who's ready to steal your heart! At about 3 years young, this affectionate and loyal boy is a delightful blend of Great Dane with perhaps a touch of mastiff, tipping the scales at a robust 115 pounds. Although he was found running at large, Duke has proven to be a well-rounded companion. He craves affection, always seeking kisses and cuddles while displaying an eagerness to please. His playful spirit pairs well with his quiet and protective nature, making him both a fun and reliable friend. Duke gets along with other dogs, showing off his social butterfly side. While he enjoys his independence, he thrives on love and attention. He knows basic commands like 'sit' and 'stay' and with a little effort on leash manners and house training, he'll be the perfect pup. We're looking for a cat-free home for Duke, and due to his size, a household without young children. This wonderful boy deserves a committed family who will train him, love him, and treat him like the cherished member he’ll become. If you’re ready to welcome a loyal, gentle, and playful giant into your home, Duke is waiting to meet you!
