DUKE's Story

Duke / 2 years / Male / Mixed Breed / ~30lbs or 14kg / Rescued from Barbados / Currently fostered in Scarborough<br/><br/>Good with teens / Good with calm dogs / Good with cats / Fully House Trained<br/><br/>Meet Duke - The Duke of Scarborough<br/><br/>Duke has come a long way from his uncertain beginnings and is now searching for a calm, loving forever home. This sweet boy is a low energy, easygoing companion who simply wants to be near his people. He is not a velcro lap dog, but he will happily settle beside you and quietly enjoy your company. His favourite thing in the world is belly rubs. He enjoys short backyard zoomies, long cozy naps in his favourite spots around the house, and taking his time chewing on a good bone.<br/><br/>In the home, Duke has beautiful manners. He is fully house trained, does not resource guard, and shows no interest in destroying furniture or shoes. Overall he is a calm and respectful house companion. Duke is still learning his basic commands and will need continued positive reinforcement and patience. He is not highly treat motivated so consistency will be key.<br/><br/>Out on walks, Duke prefers quiet streets and peaceful parks. With other dogs, he can be cautious at first, especially during nose to nose greetings. Once introductions are calm and respectful, his softer side comes out and he has formed lovely friendships, engaging in gentle play and even snuggling with compatible companions. He could happily live as an only dog, but he would likely blossom with a balanced and calm canine friend.<br/><br/>Duke's ideal family will offer patience, understanding, and a peaceful environment. Duke would thrive in a home where daily life stays close to home rather than involving frequent car travel. He’s happiest when his routine is predictable and low‑stress, allowing him to settle in and enjoy his surroundings at his own pace. In return, he will give steady companionship, soft tail wags, quiet loyalty, and unlimited belly presentations. If you are looking for a sweet, sensitive soul who will happily share your space and your heart, Duke may be the perfect match.<br/><br/>Neutered / Microchipped / Vaccinations up to date<br/><br/>To offer Duke a loving and stable home:<br/>PLEASE FILL OUT OUR ADOPTION APPLICATION TO BE CONSIDERED -<br/>https://www.caninehaven.org/dog-application
