My name is Duke and I’m definitely royalty! The elderly gentleman who adopted me as an 8-
week old puppy had to undergo emergency surgery and lost his leg to diabetes, leaving him
unable to properly care for me. I was only 10 months old at the time. I am now a 1-year old
strapping young pup who has known only love and playtime my whole life. I have boundless
energy and am up for whatever game you have in mind.. tug, fetch, long walks, you name it! I
need a securely fenced yard as I know no boundaries (having been raised on 25 acres and love
to chase the wildlife, i.e., critters, deer, nothing is off limits)! I have shared my home with cats
and will even play with cats! I have not been introduced (other than thru my kennel;) to my
Forster Mom’s dog as he is a special needs dog with delicate hips. Although I display “normal”
fencing behavior in my kennel, it appears that I will be ok with another dog given slow, proper
introduction. The best fit would be a dog that can keep up with my high-energy personality!
That said, I CANNOT be crated. I am strong and have destroyed a large crate from the inside
out. I do well in a large welded wire kennel (minimum size 6 x 8 x 4, pictured). My Foster Mom
keeps me safe in a 10 x 8 x 6 kennel which I cannot topple and am safe in when she is away.
As my prior home offered me limited opportunity to meet new people, I am wary of strangers
and need slow, proper introductions. Once I know you, you are my friend! I bond easily with
my “person” and will guard that person and my home. An experienced owner is preferred. I am
NOT a couch potato - and given the opportunity, I will probably eat your couch!
If you’re looking for a constant companion to start every day will a smile, woof and wag - I’m
your guy!
