My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

My Adoption Fee is Waived!
Meet Duke, our lovable Great Dane mix with a heart as big as his paws! Duke is a fun-loving, doofy boy who brings joy and laughter wherever he goes.  He adores giving and receiving affection.  Despite his size, Duke is impressively easy to walk on a leash. 

Duke is currently in foster care.  He loves both of the adults in the household equally and is excited to get attention from either.  We haven’t seen him around kids, but due to his size and exuberance we think he’d knock little ones down.  He’s a leaner!  Once he gives his initial greetings he loves to lean on you to show his affection.  He lives with 4 other dogs and gets along fine with everyone.  The smallest dog in his foster home is 40 pounds and the two of them love to wrestle and play chase.  No kitties for Duke, they are too fun to chase.

Duke has good manners in his foster home and is a medium energy guy.  Once he has some time in the morning to play and get his energy out, he’s ready for naps.  He’s very receptive to verbal correction and wants to please his people.  He has not had any potty accidents in his foster home.  We always suggest close monitoring and putting new dogs on a potty schedule until they acclimate to their new environment to make sure they are set up for success.  

Duke was recently diagnosed with a condition called megaesophagus.  If you aren`t familiar with this condition there`s lots of info available with a quick web search, but in general he needs to be fed vertically in a Bailey chair.  Duke is doing great with his new Bailey chair and he`s on one inexpensive medicine.  His condition is likely lifelong.  

If you’re looking for a gentle giant who will fill your life with love and laughter, Duke is your boy. Come meet Duke and let him show you how wonderful life with a big, sweet, and goofy friend can be!
