About Duke

Duke is a 7-year-old purebred chocolate Labrador Retriever looking for a new home after being surrendered due to a divorce. He thrives in environments where patience and commitment are key. Although Duke is crate trained and house trained, he has a bit of a knack for counter surfing if left unattended. He’s learning to walk on a leash but tends to pull, so prospective owners should consider this in training. While Duke has lived successfully with other dogs and cats, he's a bit cautious during new introductions. With slow and controlled introductions, he adjusts well to new canine companions. His adoption fee has been waived due to his recent dislocation from the hurricane. A donation would be appreciated. Ready to welcome Duke into your life? Apply now!
