Duke's Story

Look at those funny mismatched ears! They belong to Duke, a 1.5 year old, 21-pound Shetland Sheepdog/Terrier mix who is as lovable and adorable as they come. <br/><br/>Duke’s days are a wonderful blend of snuggles, snacks, toys, and adventure. He loves everyone he meets - dogs, cats, humans of any size - and he will greet them all with gentle enthusiasm. Duke isn’t the type of dog who causes a scene; he’s the kind who quietly sneaks into your lap, sighs happily, and makes you feel like you’re the most important person in the world. <br/><br/>Duke loves to horse around - - including with other dogs - - and he tackles toys like he’s auditioning for America’s Next Top Squeaker. Going outside is exciting for him - and sometimes a little spooky - but Duke is brave, and each day he ventures out with more confidence than the day before. He enjoys going for walks, even though he’s still learning that the leash isn’t a tug-of-war rope. He tries really hard, and he shows improvement every single day. <br/><br/>At home, Duke is continuing to settle down nicely and figure things out. At times, he can be somewhat mischievous, and at other times, he can be an absolute dream come true. He’s pretty much housebroken, he knows that his crate is where he gets cozy sleep, and he shares his possessions like he’s running a doggy lending library. He’s busy learning all the important things like sit, down, no, and stay, and you can see the little gears turning in his head as he concentrates on how to make his humans proud. He’s smart, curious, eager to please, and extremely motivated by treats, a universally powerful force!<br/><br/>Duke is the kind of dog who charms everyone he meets without even trying...even when he’s doing something he shouldn’t be doing. He’s lovable, joyful, silly, and ready to offer his new forever family a lifetime supply of comedy, companionship, and cuddles!<br/><br/>If you would like to adopt this wonderful dog, please email rescue@pupstarzrescue.org or visit www.pupstarzrescue.org for an application!<br/><br/>www.pupstarzrescue.org <br/>Please Follow us on Instagram: @pupstarzrescue<br/>Like us on FaceBook! www.facebook.com/PupStarzRescue<br/><br/>PupStarz rescue cannot guarantee the breed, size, temperament, or age of any dog.
