Duke is new to German Shepherd Rescue and is looking for a new home. He is a 2 year old intact male that tested heartworm positive in the past. All of his shots are up to date. A nice family rescued him from a kill shelter in the Richmond area but was not able to keep him due to an already full house of kids and dogs so he came to be with a foster in Northern Virginia in late November. Duke needs love and obedience training - no one has taught him the rules. Hes a snuggler and loves to wake you up with a cold nose touching the tip of yours. He is definitely 100% German Shepherd and would like nothing better than to be the lead dog. Not much of a barker and hes only 60 lbs which makes him about 10lbs underweight. The stress of a shelter will do that to you. Hes eating and getting exercise now and would be a great fit as a running partner or for someone active. Duke loves walks and will nose his leash to let you know when hed like to go out. Not sure how he is with cats but he does well one on one with most dogs. Hes working on this as he goes for walks and adoption events. He has not been exposed to crowds much so increasing his exposure will make him increasingly comfortable. If you are looking for a new family member that could use some TLC and training, check out Dukes positives against your checklist. Squeaky toy lover ! Rides great in the car ! Gentle with treats ! Free kisses !
