Duke's Story

Duke <br/><br/>Duke is a big German Shepherd with an even bigger heart. His foster describes him as a "big teddy bear" who loves being part of whatever his people are doing.<br/><br/>Duke has shown no aggression toward people or the animals in his foster home. He has been around other dogs, a cat, and even chickens, and has handled those introductions well with supervision. He's curious about the world around him and seems especially interested in simply being close to his person.<br/><br/>In fact, when Duke once found his way through a weak spot in the fence, he didn't take off. He just wanted to get to his foster on the other side.<br/><br/>Duke is a large, strong shepherd who didn't get all the indoor manners and training he deserved earlier in life. He'll need a family willing to continue giving him structure, consistency, and patience. He's learning, though, and has already shown that he can listen, follow direction, and make progress.<br/><br/>Underneath that big shepherd exterior is a dog who seems to want something pretty simple: a person to belong to.<br/><br/>Duke doesn't need a perfect home. He needs a committed one. Someone willing to keep teaching him, include him in their life, and give this big teddy bear the security of knowing he's finally home.
