Duke - American Bulldog Dog for Adoption in Lakeland, Florida

Duke has proven himself to be a fantastic coworker — an excellent listener who offers very thoughtful moral support. Running isn't exactly his strong suit (neither is walking), but for treats? He'll absolutely consider it.



He also helped host a 3-year-old's birthday party, and let us tell you — the excitement was REAL. He had the best time playing with the toddlers.

Over Christmas, Duke was spoiled with a few gifts... okay, maybe 12. And somehow, he figured out how to unwrap every single one like a pro.

These days he's enjoying snuggles with foster pups Koda and Rugby, and taking up most of the bed while he patiently waits for his forever home.

Duke is super smart and has the silly genes in abundance. After a few baths, he thinks he's a water dog. Loves having his teeth brushed, playing with our toddler, and is a total cuddle monster. He's met all the neighborhood dogs and is doing great. Haven't found any cats yet to meet.
