Duke 🐾❤️
This handsome boy is Duke, he is a large breed 9-year-old gentleman who has been in foster with me for around a month.
Duke has spent most of his life in shelters across Romania, and sadly, some of his experiences have left their mark. When he first arrived with me, he was frightened to trust people, unsure how to receive affection and understandably nervous about the world around him.
But look at him now. 🥹❤️
Every single day, Duke is making progress. He is now coming up onto my bed looking for affection, wagging his tail, enjoying cuddles and even allowing people he doesn’t know to pet him and give him treats at the doggy park.
He is learning that humans can be kind.
He is learning that it is okay to trust.
And, most importantly, he is learning that he is safe and loved. 🐾
Duke is currently in foster with me in Paisley and is looking for his forever home.
Ideally, we are looking for a quiet, calm and patient home where his new family will understand that he may need a little time to fully settle and continue building his confidence. He has so much love to give, and watching him discover that love has been incredibly special.
Duke does walk with a limp due to an old injury, so he isn’t looking for long or intensive walks. What he does love, however, is meeting new friends at the dog park, having a wander at his own pace and enjoying trips to the beach. 🌊🐕
He doesn’t need someone to change him. He just needs someone willing to give him the time, patience and love to show him that he never has to be afraid again.
Duke is ready to find his forever home ❤️
If you think you could offer Duke the calm, loving home he deserves, please get in touch with me via C&Co Dog Walking or directly contact the rescue tagged for more information about him and the adoption process.
Please share Duke’s story and help us find his special person. 🐾❤️
