About Duke

💙 Meet Duke 💙

Duke is a lovely 6-year-old cane corso cross who came into our care after being found alone in his own home following the heartbreaking passing of his owner.

Understandably, Duke was a little unsure and bewildered when he first arrived. He had suddenly found himself in a situation he could never have expected, and everything around him was completely new. But once he gets past those initial nerves, Duke comes around surprisingly quickly. 🥹

He’s been loving his walks, although he can be strong to start with, and it’s been so lovely to watch him slowly warm up to our staff and volunteers and begin putting his trust in us. 💙

He had a ball at our latest dog park day and obviously has some recall as came zooming from one end of the field to the other when called, click below to see 🎥

Sadly, Duke is really struggling in kennels. This is such a huge change for a dog who has already been through so much, and kennel life is proving incredibly difficult for him. What Duke desperately needs now is someone who can open their home — and their heart — to him as soon as possible.

Duke will need a calm, patient and understanding home, where he can take things slowly, adjust to all the changes in his life and, in time, feel safe enough to become the dog he once was again.

Duke could possibly live with another dog pending successful introductions
