Duke

My story

Duke is a tan and black German Shepherd/Lab mix who’s a little shy and still learning to trust the world around him. He’s looking for a calm, patient home where he can take things slow and feel safe. On his doggy day outs, Duke has shown he enjoys quiet adventures, walks well on leash, and rides like a pro in the car—windows down and music on, please! He’s also the kind of guy who will hop up on a bench just to sit next to you and soak up some cuddles. He enjoys gentle attention and seems to do well with respectful kids who understand his boundaries. Duke isn’t suited for a busy or chaotic home—young children and loud environments can be too much. He keeps his kennel clean and will likely do well with a little help adjusting to a home routine. He’s also quite the fence climber, so secure, supervised outdoor time is a must. With patience, love, and a quiet place to land, Duke has all the potential to become your loyal, snuggly best friend. Since many of our adoptable dogs are in foster homes, appointments are highly recommended to ensure the animal you are interested in is currently at the shelter. Please call or e-mail the shelter to set up an appointment to meet and adopt! Our adoption fees include the following: all of our dogs/puppies are current on vaccinations (DHPP and Rabies if over 3 months of age) at the point of adoption, dewormed, heartworm tested and current on preventative, microchipped, treated for fleas/ticks and are spayed or neutered. Our large dog adoption fee is generally $175 + tax. Our small dog and puppy adoption fee is generally $275+ tax. Adoption fees may vary in special circumstances. Due to space limitations, we do not hold dogs. Because we are on a busy street, we require that all dogs leaving the shelter be in a carrier or on leash. All pets remain up for adoption until an approved application is processed and their adoption fee paid.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Duke, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
