Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Duke!
Personality: Distinguished good boy Likes: Leisurely walks, surprise zoomies
Some people overlook seniors—and that’s such a mistake, especially when they’re as well behaved as Duke. This sweet gentleman walks great on leash, takes treats so nicely, and clearly knows how to be a polite companion. Duke loves his walks and, when the mood strikes, will still chase a tennis ball just to remind you he’s got some pep left in him. He’s the perfect mix of calm, charm, and playful spirit.
Fun Fact: Duke only chases the ball when it truly feels worth the effort—and honestly, same.
If you’re looking for a loyal, well-mannered companion with a big heart and just enough bounce left to keep things fun, Duke is ready to be by your side.
