Duke

My story

We have a transport where we will be personally taking our dogs home leaving on 5/17/25 to NorCal and OR. Surrounding states will be added to our route if needed ☺️ We would love to add Duke to our trip for the right home 💕 Meet our HANDSOME Gentle Giant Duke 💙 He is a purebred 11 month old Great Dane waiting to find a home all his own, and this is one boy you do not want to miss out on calling yours! He currently weighs 108 lbs. Yes, he is at a very healthy weight for his age. He is tall, and lean ❤️ He is neutered, microchipped, current on all of his 1 year vaccines, had a wonderful overall physical exam with our vet, and has officially been cleared to find a family 😊 He is the perfect boy, and loves absolutely every single person he meets! He is your total heart throb of a giant, and will make even the most seemingly complete home even more complete 💕 He is Velcro and will follow you around just about anywhere, unless he is outback playing and not ready to come inside 😂 He is a big puppy at heart and while he isn't high energy whatsoever, he sure does love to goof around and enjoy life in every moment that he can ❤️❤️❤️❤️ He has phenomenal house manners, and while his sniffer leads to high grounds we just make sure everything is put away so it doesn't get him into trouble 😆 He LOVES food, and if he can smell it he will investigate it and possibly sneak a taste if you aren't looking so make sure you are always looking 😅 He listens well, and is very mindful of what you ask of him. He is attentive to his humans and loves being the center of your world when time permits. He is patient, loving, and KIND. He loves hugs, and while we are teaching him he is much to tall to hug us standing up he can still snuggle with us on the sofa or have his head in our laps whenever he would like to. He is learning to sit, stay, and come. (Treats help!) He loves walks! He is very good on leash, and will only get better in time. He loves exploring the neighborhood, and meeting new friends along the way whether human or animal ❤️ He is amazing on road trips around town, and while he is still figuring how to get in our truck without assistance, he doesn't mind the extra help knowing he gets to hang with his humans outside of the home. He is crate trained, and has no issues sleeping in a crate if needed. He does however sleep on a dog bed in our room aside our bed at night that he does perfect with. He is house trained, and will go outside to use the restroom every couple hours if he needs to. We have a very good schedule with him, and haven't had any accidents inbetween that schedule so we reccomend for it to be kept moving forward ❤️ He is not a barker, but will alert you of unfamiliar noises if they catch his attention enough to do so as he isn't much of a protector but sure does have a deep bark to make someone think he is if needed 😂 He is the sweeet boy, and an instant friend to anyone that meets him 💙 His owner unfortunately rented. He had to move into an apartment from the home he was renting and the space was just to small to bring Duke with him. He couldn't afford another home rental, and couldn't stay where he was anymore either so it was very hard for him not having any real choices that allowed him to keep the big guy so he reached out to us here to take him in and find him the best home and family! His adoption fee is in our website at the bottom of his adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/_duke It covers all vet costs. He is neutered, microchipped, current on vaccines, and has a health certificate from our vet that will be going home with him. His adoption fee also covers the care involved in the time he has been with us, and the training we have personally done with him 💙
