My story

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

Meet Duke! A two year old Mastiff mix that is looking for his forever family. In the home he is house broken, crate trained, and loves to be with his humans. As an XL breed dog, he could still use some reinforcement of basic manners. He's very strong on leash and tends to jump and get a little mouthy when he plays or gets excited. A family with large breed experience that is willing to invest some time and energy into basic training would be ideal. Another requirement would be no children under 10. Outside the home, Duke is a tad insecure and can be slightly reactive to new dogs. After a quick introduction, however, he does great (especially with female dogs). He can, however, tend to get too excited and possessive over toys so a family that can maintain boundaries in their home would be required. As for cats... this big boy LOVES them and would have no problem sharing his space with a dog savvy feline.
