Duke

Duke is a 3 years old, 50 pound sweet and gentle hound who has really started to come out of his shell with us. He’s a quiet boy who loves his people, and his favorite things are tennis balls, stuffed toys, and getting attention. Duke is house-trained, vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered. He mostly ignores other dogs and would likely be happiest as the only pet in the home, where he can have his own space and enjoy being with his people. He can still be a little unsure in new situations, so he’ll need a patient home that will give him time to settle in and build confidence.

Duke’s Story: Duke was found in the Everglades bravely protecting two small dogs who had become his little pack. He did his best to keep them safe in a dangerous place, and now it’s his turn to have someone look out for him. When he first arrived at the shelter, he was scared and uncertain, but little by little, he has opened up and shown us how sweet he can be. We think Duke has a lot of potential with the right person and a calm, loving home.
