Re- Introducing Duke. We have updates!

Duke was surrendered because he is apparently... too friendly.

Yes. You read that correctly.

This 90 pound goober was supposed to be a farm dog, but instead of protecting livestock, Duke decided he would actually prefer to become BEST FRIENDS with literally every living creature he meets.

Goats? Friends.
Ducks? Friends.
Chickens? Friends.
Cats? Friends.
Dogs? BESTIES.
Humans? Obsessed.

At one point Duke allegedly visited the neighbors house and brought home a duck... not to hurt it... but because he wanted a playdate.

Sir. That is kidnapping.

Duke is basically a gigantic golden marshmallow with zero understanding of personal space. He believes:
every lap belongs to him
HE IS POTTY TRAINED!
water is the greatest invention of all time
leash training is going very well. he walks beautifully on a leash.

His neuter is scheduled for June to give him more time to decompress.

Fido's Landing, Inc. NFP's Adoption Policy
You begin my filling out an application on our website. We cross reference any names to make sure that we have not been given not to adopt recommendations. One of our coordinators runs your application and checks with your vet and 2 references that cannot be family. Once approved we notify you with a phone call. —OUT OF STATE APPLICANTS— Thank you so much for your interest! We are located in Homewood Illinois. While we do allow out of state adoptions we do NOT provide transportation for dogs once they are adopted. We do not have the option to place a hold on a dog however, we do allow the option for an out-of-state applicant to complete the adoption for a dog before they are able to come visit. This would require paying the adoption fee and it would ensure that the dog would be adopted to you and no longer be listed as available. If, for some reason, you did change your mind once you meet the dog, we can either apply that adoption fee to a different dog or refund the adoption fee. If you do choose to adopt before coming to the shelter, transport for the dog to go home would need to be scheduled, typically within seven days of adoption. If these policies are something you are in agreement with, please complete an application!
