Duke is a young-adult, black lab/dane mix with a white patch on his chest like a permanent tuxedo. We estimate he is about 2-3 years old.

This sweet boy was found wandering the streets and turned in to the shelter. Duke is very social and well domesticated; when he came to us it was obvious he had been well-fed and cared for. He does love to cuddle and be close to humans, sticking close to his trainer's side and accepting food from her hands.

We can tell that Duke has never been in a home with another dog before, so he would do best in a single-dog household, or with a mellow, female dog. When he first came to us he was competitive around food, but he is trains well and is making progress. He is incredibly friendly with people but not overly protective, which is a rare quality. Duke would love a big yard to run in, this boy is energetic and needs his daily exercise.
