Duke is one handsome teddybear. This beautiful fellow was short on time when Rocket Dog Rescue swept in and saved him at the 11th hour. He sure knows he has been rescued! He seems intent on making up for all the time he lost out on human affection! Duke loves to snuggle and the happier he gets, the faster his tail
goes.
He is estimated to be about 2 years old and fully grown at around 75 pounds. It is a very compact 75 pounds though as he is physically smaller than our Golden Retriever female who weighs the same as him. He has a short coat and appears to be a German Shepherd Mix. His coloring is very beautiful - brown, gold and cream - and the mask on his face is as regal as his name!
Duke will need a secure yard with a high fence, as he can easily jump 5 feet from a standing position. He is house-broken and rides well in the car. He would
do well as an only dog or with another dog. However, he appears to be a dominant male, so will probably do best with another female dog. He certainly has charmed our female after just one week together!
In general though, he’s does well with other dogs. He walks well on a leash. He has learned to sit, but will need continued obedience training to make him the best canine citizen he can be.
Duke is looking for a home that will love and appreciate him - and he will repay it tenfold! Duke does not fully appreciate his own size and might easily knock over small children, so he should not go to a home with toddlers. He is an intelligent, wonderful dog that will be a great addition to your home!
He has been neutered, has a microchip, tested negative for heartworm and is currently getting K9 for tick and flea prevention and Heartguard for heartworm prevention.
