About Duke
Duke has been my best-friend since the day I adopted him. This was a very hard decision I have to make to re-home him, still is, and probably will always stick with me. I have never re-homed a animal and never thought I’d be in the position where I had to. He is truly a sweet heart, he is the best cuddle buddy and loves his naps. He also loves his peanut butter kongs. Duke is a rescue, and like all of us he definitely has his quirks. He is reactive to strangers and other dogs/animals. He DOES have a bite on his record from before I adopted him. Under my care, he has no bites as I have done a fair job at taking the time to understand him and handle him properly. He does get along with other dogs, but he is leash reactive to them. Currently I feel that I cannot provide what he needs anymore, I am hoping to find an adopter who can love him as much as I do, while being able to provide him what he needs which I no longer can. He is a smart dog and picks up training quick. He knows all of his commands and is crate trained. My only requirements for an adopter would be listed below - 1. Love him and care for him endlessly 2. Keep my contact information handy, as if you decide he is not the right fit for you - I will take him back and try again. 3. Allow me to visit once in a while. Not alot just a few times a year. I would also like to be completely transparent so Duke can find the right adopter for him. He is a bit of a challenge, but once you get over that hump of trust it is the most rewarding thing. He is the most loveable and sweetest dog I have ever came across, and thats truly unbiased. I suggest an experienced adopter for Duke, someone who understands reactivity and fear aggression. Someone who has the means to make sure he has a good amount of stimulation, and possibly hire a behavioural trainer so he can proceed in his training. I will send the adopter home with a 40 pound bag of dog food, his toy and crate along with his flea, tick and heart worm medication.
