My personality

My story

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

Duke is a striking Malinois/Shepherd mix with a playful spirit and a loyal heart. This spunky boy is the perfect match for an active home that can keep up with his energy and love for adventure.

Duke thrives with human interaction and lights up when playing with his canine foster siblings - especially if there's a ball involved! He's absolutely ball-obsessed and will happily chase and pounce like a pro. While he's not much of a cuddler, he loves attention and always wants to be part of the action. He isn't a fan of raised voices, though, so a calm but active environment suits him best.

He's doing great with basic obedience training and walks well on a leash (although he's still learning how not to weave!). Duke is remarkably smart, but like most working breeds he's also a bit stubborn, so he'll do best with someone who's confident, patient, and consistent. He's happy-go-lucky in his foster home and learning to be brave in new environments. He's house-trained, crate-trained, and rides like a dream in the car!

Duke does well with other dogs and would benefit from continued structure and enrichment. He is neutered and UTD on vaccines. If you're looking for a loyal sidekick who's equal parts goofy, intelligent, and devoted, look no further than handsome Duke!

More about this rescue

Animal Justice League (AJL) is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt dog and cat rescue organization with a focus on the Oak Forest and Garden Oaks neighborhoods of Houston, TX. AJL was formed on January 27, 2015, but really, the work began long before then!

In a neighborhood that often serves as a dumping ground for unwanted animals, in a city that is overridden with homeless pets, and shelters that are at capacity, we saw a need and knew it was time to make a difference.

We rescue dogs off of the brutal streets of Houston, help care for those that are no longer wanted or cared for by their previous owners, and are registered to pull dogs and cats from the city, county, and nearby shelters. We also help reduce the community cat and kitten population through a robust TNR (trap, neuter, return) program.

Our mission is to reduce the homeless pet population through rescue, education, and outreach. Help us make our mission a reality!
