DUKE ("Duck")'s Story

DUKE ("Duck")<br/>English Coonhound/Foxhound Mix<br/>Male<br/>DOB: Approx: January 27, 2024 <br/><br/>Duke (known lovingly by his foster Moms as "Duck"), was found wandering the streets on the southside for days. He was finally picked up by Franklin County Dog shelter after being on his own for several weeks and close to starving. He was terrified in the shelter. Once he met someone at the shelter, he bonded with them and huddled against their leg when they went outside. But anyone knew had him shaking in the back of his kennel. He barked and hid his head and shook in the corner. He didn't have a mean bone in his body but he was terrified. No one knows what he lived through but he was deemed too shy and scared to be adopted and was scheduled for euthanasia. One of the FCDS employees contacted PetPromsie and begged us to save this dog with the big scared eyes and the sweet soul. So we did. And he was terrified of us, terrified of anyone new. <br/><br/>Today, Duke is doing well in his foster home. He is not yet a dog that would be a good match for most people but is well on his way to being brave enough for a forever family! Duck will need at least one other dog, preferably two or more in the home. He gets so much confidence from his furry friends and loves all dogs and is great with dog savvy cats. Duck still has puppy energy, so he would love someone with a tall fenced backyard. Duck is still learning that the outside world is not a scary place, so someone who can be patient in showing him how fun a walk can be is best! He is a very happy, confident dog once he knows his people are people he is safe with and have lots of treats for him! <br/><br/>If you think that you can show Duck what its like to have his own family. To know that he is in his forever home. If you are a special person who understands that he needs a lot of patience and are willing to help him become confident and learn that he can be safe and loved, and you are ready to make a lifetime commitment to care for and love him for the next 10-15 years through thick and thin (not just until its not convenient) please complete an adoption application at https://form.jotform.com/223107373504044<br/><br/>We do not have a shelter or sanctuary. All pets are cared for in volunteer foster homes until they are adopted. <br/><br/>We require a home visit as part of the application process. In general, we are only able to coordinate home visits where we have volunteers available to do the home visit.
