Available Dog

Duke #25 is a 7-year-old Golden that arrived from a breeder. He was incredibly shy upon arrival, and while he has improved, he’s still timid around people. He does better in the presence of another dog, so he’ll need to go to a home with a mentor dog. Once he adjusts, he likes petting, belly rubs, and being brushed. He doesn’t really play much but likes to chew on Nylabones. Duke will need a lot of work on leash.
