Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Duke is a very sweet boy who is easy going and affectionate. Loves people and gets along with other dogs. Playful. Wonderful personality!!! Not a big barker (barks only to alarm you of strangers). Rides well in cars and leash trained. Seems to be housetrained as well. Wonderful little companion for other dogs. Perfect walking partner who by end of the day will keep you company while reading good book in bed.
Short coat requires very little care. Regular brushing will keep the coat clean and free of dirt and dead hair. Bathe as needed. Daily walk on a leash will keep him fit, happy and healthy.
Duke is only about a year old and weights around 12 lbs. Full grown.
This lucky little dog is coming from GA. He was turned in to high kill shelter as an another stray. Another unwanted pet whose family didn't care enough to look for him. Due to lack of space he was scheduled to be killed. That's when Southern HOPE was asked to give him another chance by pulling him and transferred him to our facility.
Duke has been neutered, vaccinated, he is heartworm negative, dewormed and microchipped. The adoption fee also included microchip registration. He is current on flea/tick and heartworm preventatives.
PLEASE GIVE HIM A CHANCE! you for your interest in Duke. The rescue who is bringing Duke has the information on Duke's background. The rescue has asked Dog Days to pre-screen interested adopters for all of their dogs coming to our event.
APPLICATION FORM: http://godogdays.org/find-my-new-best-friend.htm (Copy and paste to browser.)
If you would like to begin the application process, please fill in the form at the link above and we will review your information, call your personal and well as vet references. PLEASE Fill in the application if you're interested in adoption, this will save you time at the event. A letter from your vet on their letterhead will also be very helpful if they won't be open for us to call as a reference. If you are renting, please note you must have a written letter of permission from your landlord to own a dog on their property. Dog Days will be conducting interviews of prospective adopters. As a policy, Dog Days will not hold dogs for potential adopters so it is important to come to the event by 11:00am Saturday morning if you have your heart set on a particular dog. We will be posting more information on each dog as we get closer to the event weekend which is June 23-24 at Chester Fairgrounds. PLEASE NOTE THAT DOGS ARE GIVEN TO THE BEST HOME, NOT FIRST IN LINE.

We hope you will understand the careful scrutiny of potential adopters is not only for the safety and well-being of the dog but also for a positive experience for your household. Thank you for saving the life of a shelter dog through adoption; you are truly a hero.
