About Duke

Duke is a delightful 10-month-old German Wirehaired Pointer, now seeking a loving forever home. This neutered male resides in Imperial Beach, CA, and is mostly house-trained with some gentle encouragement to get him outside. His foster family notes that Duke behaves well on a leash, enjoying trips to bars, restaurants, and shops. He thrives in social settings, showcasing his laid-back demeanor around people. His love for water shines through as he happily swims and fetches at the pool or beach. Getting along well with other dogs, Duke bonds especially with his foster brothers, who are both German Shorthaired Pointers. While he's improving with not jumping on people, he may be too energetic for young children. Duke experiences some separation anxiety and would benefit from an owner who is home for much of the day or can take him to work. A secure, fenced yard and plenty of exercise are essential for this active boy. If you think you can provide him with the right environment, he could be the perfect companion.
