🌟 About Duke:

Age: 3 years old
Personality: Extremely kind and gentle
Has played well with children when visiting our location.
Does well with cats
Duke would make a wonderful addition to any family. He’s got a heart full of love and is ready to share it with his new family. ❤️

Bursting with energy, he is always ready to entertain you with his playful antics. Duke's favorite pastime? Playing ball! He's an expert at fetch and will never tire of a good game. Don't let Duke's "worry face" fool you - he is a carefree guy! He's also a smart cookie: he knows sit, paw, down, and eager to learn lots more.

Duke would do best in a home with children who are 8 and older due to his high energy, but his energetic spirit and playful nature will still make him a wonderful addition to the right family. The HAWS behavior team would love to meet with Duke's future family to discuss how to best manage his energy in his new home and integrate both mental and physical enrichment in his daily life. Duke's love for life is contagious, and he's just waiting to share it with you. Adopt Duke and let his boundless energy and sweet nature fill your home with happiness and love.

Cuddles are Bo's favorite pastime, his gentle demeanor making him the perfect snuggle companion. Bo does have arthritis that will require him to be on joint supplements for the rest of his life to improve his quality of life. His affectionate personality is a testament to his resilience and love for life. Adopting Bo means gaining a loyal friend who will always be there to comfort you with his tender love and companionship. Bo is not just a pet, he's a friend for life, ready to fill your home with his sweet, friendly nature.
