My story

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

Are you looking for a calm, sweet dog who will sit like a human and put his head in your lap when you feel blue? You’ve met your soul dog! Duke is adoptable and hopeful. He has a zoomie moment here and there like any dog, but he is ideal if you’d like a dog past the Tyrannosaurus rex stage.

He’s a 70 lbs, 3 year old, Lab mix. Think barbecues in the backyard with your best friend relaxing in the grass.

He’s currently in a foster setting with other dogs. When he was originally surrendered through no fault of his own, his former owner said he wasn’t sure how Duke would be with other dogs, as he was always the sole dog. His foster shares that after taking time to let him meet other canines, it’s worked out. Duke seems to become apprehensive around children. To ensure his well-being, we’d prefer a home with no kids under 12 yrs. Duke is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations and microchipped.

More about this rescue

Renee's Rescues is an all-volunteer rescue organization based in Delaware. Our focus is to rescue misplaced, abandoned, mistreated, abused and/or ill canines and place them into loving homes.

We do a significant amount of rescue work with dogs acquired from large-scale breeding operations. Most, if not all, spent life in cages or outdoor hutches prior to rescue. Our dedicated foster families assist with house-training and crate-training before they are adopted. Additionally, our fosters provide extra TLC and socialization. This enables them to flourish as they start their new chapter of life.

On the fence about adopting? That's okay! We are always looking for new foster families. We provide all veterinary care and supplies. You provide the love. To learn more, please visit www.reneesrescues.org, and fill out a foster application under the Forms tab. You can email your application to applications@reneesrescues.org.
