Story
Duke is a 4 year old Boston Terrier that weighs about 25lbs. He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations, and on heart worm prevention.
Duke came into rescue from an abandonment and abusive situation. Because of that, he has triggers, so it is essential we find him the right home where he can thrive. He can become triggered when someone messes with his neck, like to put on a leash or harness. His foster mom has made lots of progress with him, teaching him that leashes/harnesses are associated with positive things like walks and treats, but his adopter will have to understand that it may take lots of patience and understanding to gain Duke's trust. A fenced in yard would be great for Duke, so he doesn't have to be leashed daily. Because Duke is slow to trust, vet visiits are not one of his favorites. Duke seems to favor women over men, so he would likely do best in a home with only females. Otherwise, it could take Duke quite some time to acclimate to a male in the home. Because Duke was abandoned and likely didnt have access to food for a prolonged period of time, he can be aggressive when it comes to food. Because of this, Duke needs to be the only pet in the home and in a home without children. Duke is such a handsome boy, and once he warms up to you, he is a such a fun dog with the perfect amount of energy. He can be playful and silly, but also enjoys downtime and long naps. He loves to snuggle under the covers, play with his toys(especially his dinosaur), car rides, and going for walks. He loves to be with people. He is crate trained. Duke continues to make progress everyday, and we want an adopter for him that is willing to commit to him, be mindful and underdstanding of things that trigger him, and give him the good life he deserves!
If you would like to give Duke his forever home, please submit an application at southerncrossbtr.com. The adoption fee is $350. He is being fostered in Memphis, TN. Approved adopters must be willing to travel to where the dog is being fostered in order to adopt them.
