About Duke
Hi there! Glad to meet you,
My name is Duke and I am a big beautiful boy finally on the look out for a forever home! Could this be with you?
I am looking for a home on the quieter side, not too many visitors, and people who like to stay home more often than not and are happy to just chill out together. If you work from home even better I would love to just sit around in the sun whilst you work the day away.
I am a sweet boy I really do love to be around my favourite people I often will lean up against you for pats and then I will take myself outside and lay down on my blanket in the sun. I love a good picnic in the backyard thats for sure. Usually a pigs ear or a cow ear and then I might have a little nap in the sun.
I am a long haired pointer so it would be good if you had an understanding of my breed - a google search might do the trick. I am quite strong on the lead at times especially if I smell something of interest. The staff have been teaching me to slow down and walk nicely with them but its still a bit of a work in progress - Especially if I see a bird. So I would like to be the only animal in the household with no small animals either! I would also be pretty happy to not go for walks very much anyway I love to play with toys instead. I love pulling apart fluffy toys!!
I would also really like all the human attention for myself so unfortunately I must be the only animal in the household.
I have been in the shelter for quite a long time so the transition may be a little bit difficult for me at the beginning. The office at the shelter is similar to a house though and often I will check in with the staff on their computers by putting my head on the desk and leaning in for some pats. Then I will have a bit of an explore.
I would also love access indoors and outdoors to a house with a yard and secure fencing. This way I can sit out in the sun and play with my toys but also come inside in the warmth to have a nap. I am a super sweet boy and really hard not to love!
