~ Duke ~
Adopted November 2010

My name is Duke and today, October 14th, is my first birthday! Yep...one year old and somehow wound up in foster care. But that's ok, because I am having a great time playing with the other three dogs here and tonight we are celebrating, but I would really like a home to call my own. My last family was a bit too busy to give me the time and care I needed, so they gave me to the rescue to be sure I'd find the perfect place for me.
So, like I said, I am one today and I am also one fun loving guy (and pretty handsome too - or at least that's what my fostermom tells me all day long. Look at my photo and decide for yourself!). I have an underbite, but everyone seems to think I wear it well.
I LOVE to play with other dogs and just never want to stop so I definitely require another dog who likes to play and does not mind tumbling around with a fenced yard to run around in. Did I say I liked to play?
I am house trained as far as my potty habits, but I still have to be watched closely because I do like to eat whatever I can find. My first day here my fostermom had to rush me to the vet because I ate some socks in my last home. All is ok, though! They came out just fine!!! But due to this, I have to still be crated when my foster family is not home or when we go to sleep at night and I have to be watched closely.
Since my last home didn't have time to teach me everything I need to know, I am going to need someone that is willing to attend some obedience classes with me in an obedience club class setting and show me some consistency and disicpline with my training. I am pretty smart and catch on very quickly. I can sit and give my paw very nicely. I need work with walking on leash because I pull a bit. When someone tells me "no" or to stop doing something, I just wag my tail at them! I ride well in a car and I love kids (my first year was spent with four under the age of twelve), so children are fine with me.
