Hello! Let me introduce myself – my name is Duke. I have been at the shelter since June and it is time that I find my forever home. My new home must be a dog experienced home who is willing to invest their time and energy in to me. There is a lot of energy in this body of mine and I need to work with my new owner to develop enrichment protocols and games so that I may not only tire out my body but also use my brain. Currently, because I am so excited over food and people, a teen to adult home is required. Also, I seem to like other dogs, but initially I need to learn to control myself because no other dogs want to play with me – it seems I need to learn “dog language”. My new family must be willing to work with me – rule of thumb is it will take me as many days as I have been in the shelter to decompress in your home. Which means I will need crate time, training time, enrichment time and learning to be a dog time. If you are willing to make this committment in me – come ask to meet with me at the shelter.
