Duke

Duke is a wonderful companion dog who has been bounced around various homes in his young life. Because of his past, he can be cautious when meeting new people; however, if you sit quietly, he'll soon be over to put his head in your lap with eyes hopeful and asking, "Will you be my friend?" <br/><br/>A stable household without chaos or drama is what Duke desires. In foster care, he lives happily with his work from home foster parents and their friendly big dog. Duke is an excellent office dog and he understands that the doggy door to the backyard is used to go outside to potty. <br/><br/>He crates well overnight. He is not a picky eater. He appreciates a good game of stuffed animal fetch or chasing his foster brother around the yard before returning to his office bed for a nap. He enjoys a nice sniff walk and hasn't ever shown signs of reactivity to other dogs, cats, or people while out on his leash. He's not a puller and can rate his speed to yours.<br/><br/>When he is unsure of a new situation or new people, he likes to hang back until he's ready to meet and greet. He is not aggressive, just a bit shy of new people. Having a confident foster sibling has worked wonders for Duke in such situations. He gains confidence readily from observing how an extrovert just saunters up to anyone. <br/><br/>His bark-o-meter is low, reserved for alerting his family that someone new has entered the property. He is not incessant about it, and quits when his person asks. Duke doesn't seem to have been around many children; however, a calm, mature child who gives him thirty seconds of patience to be introduced will have a furever fan. For this reason, a home with children older than ten years old is recommended at this time. <br/><br/>If you allow it, he'd love to be your lap dog or snuggle buddy on the couch during television time. If you're home more than gone, and you have a nice, playful dog in need of a sibling, Duke may be the one for you!
