Duke

My story

Meet Duke!Duke is a gentle soul who’s ready to find his forever family. He’s very house-trained (though a quick refresher might help after shelter life) and loves enrichment activities that keep his mind and body engaged. While he’s not a fan of crates, a heavy-duty one is a must when he’s left alone to keep him safe and out of trouble.In his previous home, Duke was especially close with the family’s young child—he even used to sleep in bed with him at night. He thrives on companionship and is happiest when he’s close to his people. Duke does experience anxiety when left alone and during storms, and he`s currently on medication to help with that. He’ll do best in a calm, understanding home where he has support and routine as he settles in.To help him succeed, Duke should continue training sessions at home with his adopters. He responds well to positive reinforcement and loves working for treats, especially during training sessions that help him stay focused and engaged.Duke will need consistent, ongoing training and a patient, supportive environment. To ensure the best fit, we encourage you to bring your children and any current dogs when you come to meet him.Come meet Duke today at SPCA Cincinnati! He’s ready to charm his way into your heart and home—with a little structure, a lot of love, and the right person by his side.
