This adorable boy with the big brown soulful eyes is Duke. Duke is a perfect gentleman and really can be described as an all-around great family dog! We believe his first few years of life weren’t so nice. Duke was most likely an outdoor dog and must have been so miserable he even started chewing on rocks. To this day you can even see how a few of his front teeth are worn down from the boredom he incurred. The vet has said though it is not an issue and doesn’t affect him at all. As if this wasn’t bad enough, he ended up at the county shelter and was rescued on his last day of life. He is SO grateful for his second chance and is loving life as an indoor dog, spending his time chilling with people in the cool air conditioning. Duke is a Rottweiler and Boxer mix with a docked tail, he’s approximately 4 yrs old and he’s a decent size boy that weighs @ 70 pounds or so.

Even though he’s big, he’s a complete lover boy! He loves other dogs, both big and small and would be more than happy to share his home with other dogs. He is wonderful with small kids and is tolerant of cats. Duke is housetrained with a doggie door, good on a leash, rides nice in the car, is VERY QUIET and is the perfect balance of playful yet mellow. Duke would love to go for walks, play at the dog park or just hang out watching tv with his family. He is a loyal, easy going guy who would be the best companion you could ever ask for! Plus, he is soooo handsome! Could you be the family to show Duke the love and home he so deserves? If you are interested in Duke, please email his foster mom at azdesertdogz@cox.net
