Duke - Terrier and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in West Des Moines, Iowa

Duke is one-of-a-kind-and honestly, we're not sure what breed cocktail created this wonderfully silly boy! What we do know is that he has the floppiest, funniest pointy ears, an adorable little pouty face, and a whole lot of personality packed into a perfectly medium-sized body.
Duke is a shy guy who needs a little time to warm up, but once he's comfortable, you'll get to see his silly side come out! He's sweet and docile, social with other dogs, and ridiculously fast when the zoomies hit.
He's also quite the little conversationalist! Duke has a high-pitched whine and talk that he likes to use to tell you exactly what's on his mind-and we think it just adds to his charm.
His manageable size and easygoing nature could make him a great fit for an apartment or smaller home, especially with someone who understands that the best friendships sometimes take a little time to blossom.
For now, Duke is kicking back, relaxing, working on his social skills, and zooming around with his doggy friends while he waits for his forever family to find him.
