My story

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

🐾 Meet Duke! 🐾

This adorable 5-year-old Terrier is searching for his forever home! Duke is a stunning black and white dog with an affectionate and playful personality. He’s ready to find a loving family who can give him the time and attention he deserves.

About Duke:

Age: 5 years
Temperament: Playful and cuddly, Duke loves to be around people.
Duke thrives in an environment where he can play and run freely without being crated most of the day.
Good with Dogs and Cats: No
Good with Children: Yes, but due to size older children are best.
Housebroken: Yes
Why Duke Needs a New Home:
Duke was adopted as a puppy from the shelter, but was left with his last owner by a previous partner, and due to work schedules, he spent much of his time crated. He would be happiest in a home where he can be more active and have a dedicated routine for playtime and exercise.

Additional Information:

Duke is up-to-date on his vaccines, including rabies and distemper, and he is microchipped.
He would benefit from a family that can be around more often and love, cuddle and socialize him properly.

Ideal Home for Duke:
Duke would do best with an active family who has the time to work with him on training (if needed) and can provide a lot of love and exercise. A home WITHOUT other pets is a must due to a lack of socialization around other animals.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will always be there to greet you with a wagging tail and lots of love, Duke is the perfect match for you!

Let’s find Duke a home where he can be happy and loved! ❤️

Duke is having a pretty hard time at the shelter being in a cage almost all day. He is a great dog but he needs somewhere where he can run around safely. He LOVES people without a doubt. He could be the perfect companion for a single person are even a family but he would have to be the only dogAn adoption application can be filled out on the DHS website https://www.dekalbhumanesociety.org/adopt. Dog adoption fees are $250.00 for all puppies and adult dogs. Seniors are a donation of choice.
Cats and kittens are a donation of choice.
