About Duke

Duke is a sweet, wiggly boy who brings joy to those around him.

Once outside, he relaxes and enjoys his walks, where he tends to stay at the end of the leash with gentle tension. Duke can get distracted by birds and squirrels, leading to some leash pulling, but he remains uninterested in other dogs and doesn’t pay much attention to passing people. Duke is playful and clearly loves his outdoor time with his person. He sits nicely for treats while being harnessed, eager for his adventures. This young boy is looking for a loving home where he can thrive. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
