My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Duke is a very handsome Lab. He is 2 years old and he weighs 75 lbs.

Personality: Duke is very affectionate. He loves to play with other dogs and calm when he is not around play. He loves people, he likes attention, when we take him to different places he likes to greet all dogs and people around.He loves chew bones and toys and food. He would be easy to train. He is crate trained and potty trained. He knows how to sit, and walks well on the leash. Duke loves big and small dogs but I would suggest to mingle with big dogs as he doesn’t control his strength very well. Also, he likes to jump on people, he doesn’t do it as often as before but it is something that he just can’t help, what he tries to do is try to give you a “hug” and because of that I wouldn’t recommend a family with babies, toddlers or elderly people. He only wants to show his love and the foster is working on that. Super great dog.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Thank you for adopting and not buying!!! Every week hundreds of highly adoptabledogs are put to death by local shelters. Most people would be amazed at the purebred and beautiful dogs available, if they walked into their neighborhood shelter.

Rescue organizations, like mine, work hard to save as many as we possibly can but is a never ending process with breeders and Puppy Mills selling unhealthy animals to the public. If you EVER saw a puppy mill you would NEVER buy again!

All of my dogs are neutered or spayed, vet checked, completely vaccinated, wormed, groomed and checked for heart worms. They are all are current on Heart worm medicine, flea, and tick medications. They are all microchipped as well.

Adoption fee is $300 to $350 (older "friends' can be less, please inquire. Puppies are $350 - Besides fully vetting all dogs, some of of the dogs I rescue, 1 in 5 I rescue have heart worms which is very expensive to treat. I also take in dogs who need surgeries and are close to death.

More about this rescue

About us: Cody was the first pet I owned as an adult. He was a Shih Tzu that I bought unknowingly, from a Puppy Mill. He fought for his life and barely survived, suffering for the first few months of his life. From then on I was stirred by a ferocious passion to save as many dogs as I could through networking with other rescue groups and saving the ones I could off of cold streets and unwanted in shelters. Cody did not live a very long life due to a weakened body, but I was able to love on him for eight good years! He will always be loved and forever remembered. With over 400 dogs rescued so far, we ARE making a difference!!
Thank you for visiting and considering a rescue........................
