My story

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

Meet Duke, a sweet male retriever mix weighing around 60 pounds. Duke was surrendered by his owner in September 2024 due to personal circumstances, so this is in no way his fault. Unfortunately, he hadn’t received proper care before arriving at the shelter and was in fairly poor condition. But after receiving the care, love, and attention he deserves, Duke has blossomed into a happy and loving boy. While he’s still a little scared at the shelter, he’s starting to come out of his shell more every day!

Described as calm, affectionate, and sweet by shelter volunteers, Duke is doing his best to keep his kennel clean and is making great strides in learning potty training. He was even a good sport on Halloween, dressing up as a hotdog! Duke loves going on walks, running around, and enjoying life, but he’d be so much happier in the comfort and convenience of a forever home. If you`re looking for a loyal companion who will `reign` over your heart, Duke might be the perfect match! Could you be the one to give this loving boy the royal treatment he deserves?

This pup has a sponsored adoption fee, meaning you can bring him home neutered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated at no cost to you!
