Adopted: Duke, an 8 year old Male Yellow Labrador, is looking for his forever home.
Here is a bio from his foster family:
Please read carefully!
"Duke is just amazing. He is very gentle and a real love bug. He likes to play with tug toys and balls, and loves a walk. He eats anything, not picky at all. He does need to shed a few more pounds, so he is on a diet. Don’t tell him, he doesn’t know. When he is finished with his food, he’ll even bring the bowl to you to fill up again. Nice try Dukey!!! He uses a dog door, and will stand by our gate when we leave to wait for us to return. He sleeps in bed with us, and sometimes gets out of bed and lays on the floor next to the bed. He can be mouthy when playing, is very gentle and responds to “No”. Duke is very obedient. He knows sit, stay, down, go to bed, bring me your bowl, come", and perhaps a few others. He will go in his crate, but he has free run of our house. He has a “person”, and is very attached. Duke is like Velcro with his favorite person. Duke does get along with other dogs, but we are unsure of cats.
Duke had a very rough period of adjustment coming in to foster care, he really loved his original family, and now totally trusts his fosters. There will be an adjustment period, and will need extra time, patience and love to adjust to his furever home. Duke is also treated for dry eyes and gets 2 different sets of drops, twice a day. He is pretty good about the drops, but it can be tricky. We have it down to a science and can teach any adoptive family the tricks. This boy is one in a million."
IMPORTANT: Duke has Addison’s Disease , so the adopting family will need to take him for regular vet visits to get a shot to maintain his system. It is under control now, as we and our vet worked diligently to find correct meds and dosage. Duke currently needs the medication every 10 weeks and price can vary between veterinary hospitals.
