My story

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

Meet Duke, a charming mixed breed brimming with potential! When he is first introduced, he greets with an enthusiastic wag of his tail, but sometimes his nerves kick, revealing his sweet but timid nature. Once leashed, Duke hesitates, pulling back slightly in his kennel, yet he walks nicely with a bit of gentle encouragement, occasionally stopping to take in his surroundings. Affectionate and responsive, he comes up for pets and allows handling, though he is easily distracted by the sights and sounds around him. While he shows curiosity about toys, he doesn’t quite engage with them just yet. Duke remains calm during food interactions and initially displays some apprehension when meeting another dog, but soon relaxes into friendly sniffing. With continued socialization and training, Duke is sure to thrive and become a wonderful companion for a patient and loving adopter ready to help him build his confidence.
