Story
Duke is a love bug male Terrier/Chihuahua mix, born 7/8/2012. This big love bug is just that, he is full of cuddles and rubs. He loves to play with you or chew on his cow hoove. Duke does not really like being around other dogs, he wants you to himself, but he will tolerate them. We think that he was kept outdoors most of the time because he will not stay outside for long periods of time without you; he loves being in the house with you and his family. Duke will just come up to you and lie next to your feet and hope to get some loving from you; he really is hoping to get his belly rubs. Duke is just starving for love and attention and he really deserves it because he is a great dog; we do not think that he got much of it before. He sleeps well in his crate and loves to sleep near your bed. He is housetrained on the potty pads and always uses them, but he will also go outside using the doggy door. If you have children he would like them to be 10 years of age or older so that they will not be so rough on him. He does not like to be left at home all day alone, being alone for a few hours would be fine or a stay at home parent would be great for him, or even another dog. Duke was extremely heavy when we got him and he has lost a lot of weight, just playing in the backyard with his foster or the other dogs. He has learned how to walk with a leash, but he needs a harness on him or he will pull the collar right over his neck. Duke is ready to go to his new home and get lots of love from you and in return you will get more love then you ever would want. SECURE FENCING REQUIRED FOR ALL OF OUR RESCUED DOGS. For more information email: starshalodogs@yahoo.com. If you are considering adopting a dog through HALO Here are some helpful hints: Bring pictures of your yard to show secure fencing. Most of our dogs require a 6 foot fenced yard. Yards must be cleared of any fox tail weeds. The adoption donation is cash or check. We will follow up on the dogs well-being within 30 days after the  adoption to make sure that they are happy and thriving. We do adopt small dogs to apartments or condo and need to see pictures of the patio or balcony area. If you rent, please bring copy of your lease to show you can have pets and any size restrictions. We do not adopt to homes with children under the age of five (5) unless we know the history of the dog with young children. All Children MUST be present at adoption. If you own a dog and are looking for a friend please bring your dog with you so that they can be introduced to make sure that they will get along.September 28, 2023, 4:05 am

Story
He is a good boy but a stubborn boy ( The dog trainer we took him to also said that). He is trained his training does need some tighting up but again he is a stubborn boy. He enjoys activities, I would keep him leashed outdoors when not in the backyard. I perfer he go to a home with older kids. He has not shown any aggression towards younger kids( i have an 8 yr old) He tends to ignore them. He is food aggressive which is also why I would want him in a home where directions with him can be followed easily. Im looking to rehome him do to my daughter developing allergies to dogs on top of Me not have enough time/patients for him with work and with a special needs Child.He is a sweet boy.
