BONDED PAIR WITH DUKE! PLEASE SEE LISTING FOR DUKE!
LULU AND DUKE MAY POTENTIALLY BE ADOPTED SEPARATELY, BUT IT IS PREFERRED THAT THEY ARE ADOPTED TOGETHER!
Duke and Lulu are a bonded pair who came into rescue following the death of their owner and loss of their home. As expected after all the changes in their environment and family dynamic the past six months, they seek lots of attention. Both are affectionate, playful and eager to please and would do well in a structured environment with humans who can give them the time and attention they need.
Duke seems to be the strong silent type – sitting back observing and taking his cues from Lulu. He warms up right away, while she needs a little time to get comfortable with new people.
Both travel in the car extremely well, are crate trained, and have lived peacefully with several inside/outside cats. Their roommates/caretakers report they have high prey drive and do not like Chihuahuas. As far as exposure to children, they have only encountered a 12YO nephew a few times.
They both listen considerably well,but could use general manners reinforcement and leash work.
If you’re looking to add a pair of loveable, entertaining, in-your-face Danes to your family, then these two are for you! Stay tuned for updates.
LULU UPDATE MAY 2026
Lulu is now a New Yorker! She has adjusted so quickly it feels like she’s been here forever! She loves being near her people but loves being ON her people even more. While she’s polite about it, Lulu will want to know every detail of what you’re doing - no matter what you’re doing. Bathroom, cooking, gardening - Lulu is right next to you to observe.
If you’re looking for a 100+ lb lap dog, look no further. She’s also great with young kids and cats. Lulu is working on her leash manners but is doing really well with that.
Lulu is currently living with a toddler, special needs cat, dogs, chickens

Personality Highlights
Great with all dogs so far
Seems to be good with young kids (currently lives with a 2.5 y/o boy)
Seems to be good with cats as long as the cat is ok with being gently tormented
Good with chickens. Chases for a second sometimes but otherwise ignores completely
Things To Be Aware Of
Showed slight food resource guarding the first night with one dog in the foster home. But hasn’t shown it again
Did NOT show any resource guarding towards humans
Does really, really well on a long lead. She’s thriving on a 20 ft lead. It avoids creating anymore trauma or aggressive behavior associated with the leash
Will only finish her kibble if water is added
Is not treat motivated AT ALL
She was slightly wary of new people at the vet but this was to be expected. She warmed up quickly and the staff gave her lots of praise and cuddles. Lulu will start her heartworm treatment at the end of May, her adoption is on hold until her treatment is completed.
