Story
Duke is one of the best dogs I've ever owned. I got him from a friend of mine who found him at a gas station as a puppy. The had to rehome him due to working long hours, so I gladly accepted him into my home with my cat. He LOVES to go on car rides and I frequently take him to the park to play. Im moving to Texas here soon and Unfortunately I wont have the room for him. I truly hate to have to rehome him but I rather him be with be in a good home and not cooped up in an apartment while working 12 hrs a days.
