Duke - Great Dane Dog for Adoption in Silver Spring, Maryland

Hi, I'm Duke. While my brother Cash is busy diving headfirst into muddy puddles, I tend to be the contemplative, regal member of our duo.

At 80 pounds, I'm lean, athletic, and built for a proper sprint, but I balance that with quiet stoicism. You'll often spot me stalking through tall grass like a sleek jungle cat or entertaining myself by playing solo fetch with rubber balls and stray walnuts! Still, don't let the noble posture fool you—I will happily melt into a goofy puddle the second belly scratches are offered.

I take pride in listening well, but my gentleness with little ones is my favorite trait. I adore toddlers, delicately taking treats from tiny open palms and soaking up all their love. I'm also calm and respectful around cats—even the suspicious ones!

I'm neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated. While Cash and I would be thrilled to share a big fenced yard together, I'm also more than ready to shine on my own. If an intelligent, soulful companion sounds like your match, I'm waiting!
