🏞 Duke🐾

Say hello to Duke, a handsome, high-energy German Shorthaired Pointer with a zest for life and a heart full of love. This 1-year-old pup is ready to find his forever family who will embrace his playful personality and active lifestyle!

Why You’ll Love Duke
🐾Dog & Kid Friendly: Duke gets along great with other dogs and adores kids. He’s currently living with toddlers (ages 3 and 4) and is wonderfully gentle, though he sometimes forgets his size and tries to be a lapdog.
🐾Playful Spirit: Toys are Duke’s passion—he loves pulling them all out and playing fetch (we’re still working on the “return” part 😉).
🐾Quick Learner: This smart, food-motivated boy has already mastered “sit,” “stay,” and “kennel.” He’s working hard on leash manners and picking things up quickly.

What Duke Needs
🐾Active Lifestyle: Duke’s high energy makes him a great fit for an active family who loves outdoor adventures or daily runs.
🐾Fenced Yard or Adventures: He thrives in a space where he can burn off energy safely or with a family who will take him out exploring.
🐾Training & Patience: Duke is working on his manners and will need a family dedicated to continuing his training. He’s doing great so far!
🐾Crate Safety: Duke absolutely must be crated when left alone, as he’s a pro at escaping wire kennels. Once in a sturdy crate, he’s perfectly content, accident-free, and sleeps peacefully at night.

Quirks to Know
🐾Duke loves food—so much so that he’s quick to snag it if it’s within reach. He’s learning boundaries but will need a watchful eye around snacks.

Duke is the ultimate adventure companion with a heart of gold. If you’re ready for a loyal, energetic, and loving pup who will keep up with your active lifestyle, Duke is waiting for you! Apply today to make Duke part of your family: dixiegirldogrescue.org/forms
