My name is Cooper Duke!

Meet Duke (formerly Cooper), a very good three-year-old boy with the sweetest smile looking for a special forever home. This charming chocolate lab mix comes to us from an unfortunate background of neglect, so he can be shy at first. But he warms up quickly with gentle affection and lots of patience.
Because of past abuse, sweet Duke does suffer from separation anxiety. His new family should understand that he may need medication for a while to manage his anxiety as he transitions to his new home. Providing steady companionship and reassurance will help Duke feel secure. He promises to return the love a hundredfold once he settles in!
Duke hates being crated, so a secured high-quality crate is a must for when his new owners need to step away. He is also a flight risk and has escaped before, so keeping doors and gates double-locked is essential.
This snuggly fella enjoys cozying up on his foster mom's favorite chair for naps. Duke gets along well with other dogs, but does best as the only pet so he can receive plenty of attention. Playing with his favorite sticks makes this sweet pup grin from floppy ear to floppy ear.
His perfect match will be an experienced female adopter fully prepared and committed to helping this good boy continue building trust and confidence with ample love, training and security measures.
Won't you open your home and heart to this deserving boy? With the right person by his side, Duke will blossom into the most loyal companion for life.
