Duke

Meet Duke – Our Gentle Giant

Introducing Duke, a handsome older gentleman with a heart as big as his paws. Duke is new to Beauties and currently staying in boarding while he waits for his perfect forever home.

We don’t know much about his past, but based on his behavior, we suspect Duke may have spent most of his life outdoors. He absolutely loves the grass and going for walks—two of his favorite things. Indoor life is still a bit new to him. When he first visited the lounge area at the adoption center, he was baffled by the television but quickly found comfort in a cozy shag rug, where he eventually curled up for a nap.

Duke is estimated to be between 8 to 10 years old and is a large breed. He’s dog-friendly, though we’re unsure how he feels about cats. He does take a little time to warm up to new people, but once he trusts you, he’ll let you know he’s ready for affection.

One of Duke’s absolute favorite people is Beauties volunteer Tommy, so future visits with Tommy are a must in his book. Duke did briefly stay in a foster home with another rescue, and there was an incident involving a repairman that left him uneasy. Because of this, we believe a quieter home with minimal visitors would be the best environment for him.

Duke is looking for a patient and loving home where he can enjoy his golden years with dignity, comfort, and lots of love. Could that be with you?
