German Shepherd Dog
Black with Tan, Yellow or Fawn
Each organization sets the adoption fee for their animals. Adoption fees help cover the cost of this animal’s care as well as allowing the organization to help more animals.
He does need a fenced yard where he can safely run, explore, and chase the occasional squirrel. Duke is excellent with every person he’s met and would likely do well with older, respectful kids after a meet‑and‑greet (he just hasn’t met any yet!). He hasn’t met cats yet, but he’s open to introductions. With a medium energy level, a loyal heart, and an easygoing nature, Duke is the kind of dog who fits seamlessly into family life.
Duke is ready for a home that will give him love, structure, and plenty of time together — a family who wants a devoted companion for walks, backyard play, and saving a spot on the couch for movie nights. He’s truly an all‑around GREAT dog with so much love to give!
Duke’s Dynamic Highlights:
4‑year‑old, 78‑lb German Shepherd who thinks he’s a lap dog Total love bug who snuggles during TV time and stays close to his people Great playmate with gentle manners — especially with medium and large dogs Potty trained and crate trained, though he gives a sad little howl when you leave Loves his crate for sleeping, eating, and brings toys inside to relax (he does tend to “guard” his crate from other dogs) Prefers eating separately in his crate with the door closed so he can enjoy meals peacefully Excellent with all people and open to meeting kids for a gentle introduction Great on a harness and loves daily walks to keep his mind active Needs a fenced yard to safely run, explore, and chase the occasional squirrel Loyal, easygoing, devoted companion who’s ready for couch cuddles and family movie nights
