Meet Duke! Duke is a fun-loving goofball looking for his forever family. He prefers to spend his time lounging on the couch with his people, or relaxing on his doggy bed. Duke loves to play tug-of-war. He is super animated, and play-growls as he shakes the rope. Don’t feel like playing tug with Duke? No worries, he is just as happy tossing the rope around for himself. If you enjoy lazy days on the couch watching Netflix — so does Duke! Overall, he’s a low-maintenance guy just trying to relax and enjoy the company of his people. He knows a few tricks, like sit, lay down, stay, go to your bed and paw. This guy is the sweetest! He honestly just wants to be loved, and deserves the chance to have his forever home.
