Duke
DUKE
DUKE is a handsome regal-looking 10 month old male German Shepherd/Pharaoh Hound mix.
He weighs about 50lbs, has a short brindle-colored coat, gorgeous eyes, and long legs that run gracefully like a colt.
DUKE was a found as a stray with his best friend BABY, probably after being abandoned, and they both ended up at an overcrowded rural shelter.
Due to lack of space they were scheduled to be euthanized, but our rescue network was able to get them into emergency boarding to save their lives.
However, this was just a short term situation and now Duke urgently needs a foster home (or adopter).
Duke is a bit timid right now and would do best in a home with people experienced in helping shy dogs, and also possibly with a dog pal to help show Duke the ropes and build his confidence. He is a fast learner and very attentive, especially when treats are involved which he takes with a gentle mouth!
He has already learned a few commands and how to use a doggie door. He is a playful happy boy that likes his toys and looks so cute when he carries them around in his mouth. He loves human companionship and is drawn to people with soft voices.
Duke is just waiting for a loving home with people that can help him decompress from his shelter experience and overcome his timidness, and work on his training.
He needs a family to provide him a real home for his true personality to come shining through. In return he will be a great friend and true companion!
If you can open your heart and home to FOSTER OR ADOPT Duke, please contact us ASAP.
(Any amount of time fostering Duke would be great, and if for any reason things don’t work, we can take him back within 24hrs if needed.)
Note: For any potential foster/adopter we do have an application process and do a home check, to ensure it is a suitable match for everyone.
Thank you for considering to foster/adopt Duke and help us save this great shelter dog!
