Duke's Story

My name is Duke and I'm almost 9 years old and around 80 pounds, but don't let me age fool you, I act like a youngster part of the time.. If you live an active lifestyle (especially one that involves walking and hiking) then I'll be a great companion. I will keep up with your pace, whether fast or slow, and I’m very good at walking on a leash without pulling. I like to work out my muscles and I especially love playing tug of war with my humans. And when you let me run off leash in a fenced back yard you can really see just how fast I can run. I cannot live in an apartment and must have a secure fenced yard. I'm a pretty smart cookie too. If you can hear me whimpering from another room, chances are I'm standing near the back door. That's just me letting you know I need go outside to potty and get some fresh air. As far as food goes, I have a sensitive tummy and cannot eat certain foods, including chicken and peanut butter. So no people food for me, and for meals I must eat a special food for sensitive stomachs. I don’t mind it, and I know people food is off limits so I won’t beg. I know what the word "walk" means and even "car". I also listen to commands like "sit" and "shake". Not much stresses me out. You will hear me bark when a stranger comes to the door, as I want to protect my people. And when there's an emergency vehicle siren blaring I will even show you how I can howl. But otherwise, I'm pretty chilled out. Whether you’re at home or at work, you can usually find me laying down on a piece of furniture napping or chewing on my bone, I love bones. And when you walk through the door I'll come meet you with my tail wagging. I won't jump up on you, but trust me, I'm very excited to be reunited. You can pet, rub, squeeze, and pat me all over my body and I won't freak out or get too excited. I know to be gentle with humans and to save my energy for my toys. Everyone says I'm very well behaved and I know it and am proud of it! I love to make new dog friends and I'm also learning to get along with cats. I can be curious and fixated and very vocal when in the presence of one, but as long as you supervise me and remind me to give them space and leave them alone when they tell me, I'll obey. They're just another part of the family to love and respect. I came to OFOSA with my sister Daisy after my mommy had to give us up in order to better help herself. My foster parents have helped make this transition so much easier and I'm so excited to bring love and happiness to my next family. To meet me fill out the Dog Adoption Application on their website OFOSA.ORG and my foster parents will reach out. I'm neutered, microchipped and up to date on my shots. My adoption fee is $300. Hope to meet you.
