ABOUT THIS ANIMAL:

Duke is a sweetheart! He loves being a part of a family and has been great wtih kids. He's good in a yard with a basic fence ( no jumping) and has a kind soul who is intrigued by small mammals but never hurt one. He loves going on car rides with the family, and is a great adventure buddy! He is great wtih other pups as well.

Duke was adopted by a family as a puppy, and they lived him dearly and took amazing care of him. Unfortunately their youngest developed a severe allergy leading them to have to find a new home. He's been well taken care of, and would love to find a new family willing to take him on adventures.
