Duke's Story

Meet Duke, our handsome boy who is a bundle of energy who loves to play, fetch and show off all of his skills. <br/><br/>This guy came to us was found as a stray in MS. He had already been neutered and knew basic commands, so it appears he did have a previous home. However, no one claimed him and he remains at their local shelter. <br/><br/>He's mostly potty trained, knows how to walk on a leash, knows how to sit, stay. He also knows how to fetch properly and when he wants you to throw a toy, he will drop it and back up. He does get a little snappy if you're holding something he thinks he wants, but listens well once corrected.<br/><br/>Duke would thrive in a home with a big yard where he can run and play to his heart's content. If you're looking for an active companion, Duke might just be your perfect match!<br/><br/>Name: Duke<br/>Breed: Shepherd/Doberman Pinscher<br/>Sex: Male<br/>Age: 5 years (estimated)<br/>Weight: 46.0<br/>Spayed/Neutered: Yes<br/>Vaccinations: Up to date<br/>Heartworm: Negative on recent testing<br/>Microchipped: Yes<br/><br/>BASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS:<br/><br/>Good with Dogs: Yes, tested okay in the shelter environment.
