About Duke

Meet Duke, a friendly and vibrant Cane Corso looking for a loving home. He arrived at the shelter on September 23, 2026, after being rescued by our Humane Law Enforcement team. Duke has been through some challenges, having received treatment for skin and eye conditions, but he's feeling much better now and is ready to find his special adopter. This big guy thrives on human companionship and loves nothing more than being petted and cuddled. Duke enjoys warm baths as well! Due to his size and excitement, he would do best in a home with experienced adopters who can manage his energy and jumpiness. Any children in the home should be 12 years or older. Duke is currently on behavior medications to enhance his training experience, and this may be continued or adjusted per veterinary advice. He has been neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. If you're ready to give Duke the loving home he deserves, come speak with an adoption counselor to learn more today!
