Age: 5 years oldWeight: 83 poundsAbout Me: Hi, I`m Duke and I`m a wiggly boy! I am always happy to meet new people and give them my love. If you`re looking for a cuddly dog that will always be excited to see you when you come home then I`d love to meet you! Come by and meet me today. If interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website by following https://www.ark-valley.org/adoption-matchmaker-application/. We recommend calling the shelter at 719-395-2737 after you submit your application to ensure that we have received it. You can also give us a call if you have any questions or would like to learn more about a specific animal. Walk-ins are welcome during our open hours Monday-Saturday 12-5pm, although an adoptable animal may be in a foster home instead of at the shelter, so we also recommend calling us prior to driving to the shelter to confirm the pet`s current location.
