PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet.

This is Duke. He is a beautiful Great Dane who was an owner surrender. When Duke came to me, he was painfully thin, as you can see in the pics. He has since put on some weight and has begun to fill out. He is a very sweet natured dog but does have some issues. He is very aggressive at feeding time. THis is the only aggression he has ever shown, but for this reason, I could not adopt him to a home with young children. I have been working with him to try to remedy the food aggression and he is making progress. He tends to be much more protective of his food when he is fed in his crate. When fed out of the crate, he is still very protective of the food bowl, but is learning to allow me to pet him while he eats. Other than feeding time, he is very loving and sweet natured. He is also very energetic and needs a home where he can get plenty of exercize. He has not been taught good manners and will need to learn what is expected of him. Duke has heartworms and has been started on a slow kill treatment protocol. Duke is housetrained and crate trained. He gets along well with other dogs and likes everyone. I believe he was mistreated before he came to me, as he cowers if you raise your voice to him. I believe Duke will make a wonderful addition to the right family, but he needs someone who will be patient with him. For more info, please email kelley@adoptastrayrescue.com

Duke is located in the south and will be transported once adopted. Please only inquire if you are serious about adopting and would be ready to welcome Duke into your home within 2 weeks of your application.
