About Duke

Meet Duke! He has one brown eye and one blue eye, and he’s bursting with puppy personality. At just 2.5 months old and around 4 lbs, Duke is ready to bring some joy into his forever home. He loves to run and play, often showing off his signature move: splooting flat on the ground! When fully grown, he’s expected to weigh about 20 lbs. Duke's spirit is full of the happy, silly energy typical of a young puppy. He is entering the teething phase, so his new family should anticipate some chewing and exploring. Supervision, appropriate chew toys, and plenty of patience will help him thrive as he grows. His mom, Nala, is also available through the rescue. She’s a 3-year-old, 14 lb Chihuahua mix who adores people, just like her little boy. Duke is charming, tiny, and full of life. Are you ready for some puppy joy?
