Duke (formerly Draco)

Duke is not only a really handsome guy, he is also very loving, attentive, patient, and silly. He loves chewing on his toys, running, and snuggling with his people. At 78 pounds, he thinks he is a (very large) lap dog! He is house trained and crate trained. He would love a home with a good sized fenced yard. Duke was adopted as a young puppy and was recently returned. He is a sweet boy, but shy in new situations so he needs a patient family who will work with him. In his previous home, Duke got along well with the other dog in the home but has not been exposed to many new dogs, so he would do best as the only dog in the home at this time, or with a slow introduction where the resident dog is calm and can be a good role model. He was good with the kids, ages 11, 13, and 16, but young children make him nervous.
