This is Duke! A very handsome male Lab Retriever mix that weighs 84lbs. He came in on 5/7 as an owner surrender to the Mesquite Animal Shelter. Reason for surrender is that he was too much for the family. True, Duke is a big boy, with big energy too! He is a very happy boy that does include needing more training walking on a leash as he can pull quite strongly. He had the best time in the yard chasing/retrieving the ball over and over. He has had training as he will bring the ball back and drop it at your feet. He knows the sit command, takes treats gently, is housetrained and has been well cared for. He has been an indoor pup and enjoys sitting in chairs or a couch close to his human companions. Duke loves to get petting, hugs and always a smile on his face. As he met other dogs he did not do well with other male dogs, but ok with smaller female dogs. Due to his strength it's very important if there is another dog in the home, he must be dog tested. With some training this great boy will be a great family companion. Can you offer him a loving home with a secured backyard, a fluffy dog bed inside and a seat right next to you on the couch to cuddle? If so, Duke is your guy!!
