My story

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

Hey guys! It's me! Duke!

I was recently found as a stray right down the road from FDHS wearing a harness and leash. The humans were certain someone would come looking for me, but my previous folks never came. I'm not quite sure why, because I'm a really good boy! 

I'm still getting used to life at the shelter and my caretakers are still getting to know my perks and quirks- but so far they're all pretty smitten with me. The other dogs with more "intense" personalities tend to get me worked up, but I think I'm pretty open to meeting calmer canine friends! I have not been cat-tested yet but the humans will update my description once we get to know each other a little better. 

I hope to see you soon.
