Duke is a sleek, handsome fella weighing in at a perfect 38 pounds. We think he’s a blend of Pointer and perhaps a dash of Border Collie, making him the ideal medium size—sturdy enough for a hike but compact enough to not take up the entire bed (though he might try!). Of course, as with all our rescue superstars, his breed is our best guesstimate, but his heart is 100% pure gold.

Duke is currently living the dream in a loving foster home, and he is absolutely glowing! This smart cookie is crate trained and handles his den time like a pro. Even better? He’s officially a gold star student in potty training and hasn't had a single accident! He’s also a total family man; he’s been hanging out with kids as young as six months old and has been nothing but a gentle, patient soul. Duke has truly mastered the art of being the perfect household companion!

When it comes to other dogs, Duke is a social butterfly! He is currently living with a crew that ranges from tiny Shih Tzus to a giant Great Pyrenees, and he handles the variety with total ease. He loves a good game of chase in the backyard and thrives on the company of other canines. While he can be a solo star, he’d love a home with a fur sibling to help him keep the games going.

Is Duke a fan of felines? While he’s been great with his doggy friends and tiny humans, he hasn't told us how he feels about cats just yet! We’d love to arrange a kitty slumber party to ensure he’s ready to share his space (and maybe even his favorite spot on the couch) with a tiny tiger. It’s the ultimate way to make sure everyone is ready for a lifetime of cozy naps together!

Duke is a backyard enthusiast who dreams of having his very own fenced-in kingdom! While he’s a social butterfly, the busy apartment life with its noisy hallways and elevators is a bit too "extra" for his chill vibe. His ideal setup is a lush, sunny yard where he can perform his daily victory laps, hunt for the perfect stick, and sunbathe until his belly is warm. He’d be the happiest pup on the block in a quiet neighborhood where the most exciting part of the day is sniffing every single blade of grass at his own leisurely pace.


In short, Duke is the perfect mix of play and peace a dog who can go from a high speed backyard chase to a deep sleep cuddle session in five seconds flat. He’s just waiting for the right person to show him that the world is a big, beautiful place.
