Duke - 6 Month Old Mastiff X (Trial)

Meet Duke!

Duke is a smart, friendly young man ready to meet his forever family. Duke has a sweet nature with a sense of adventure but at the same time displays a cautious attitude to the world. He would make an ideal companion for any family/couple ready to give him affection and encourage his sense of playfulness.

He loves walking and fun activities. Duke loves being part of the family pack and has an intelligent nature. He loves laying in the sun after play time and just loves being around his family. Duke had a rough start to life but with his foster family guidance is learning to be brave and adventurous. Duke is the sweetest puppy ready to be given a beautiful new life.

More about Duke – he sleeps in his crate all night, loves his play and is always ready for a cuddle. Duke is toilet trained. Since coming into foster care Duke has responded well to house rules, understands basic commands, is walking very well on the lead, shows great potential for recall and has grown into a smart strong handsome boy. Since having Duke from 10 weeks old, his foster family has given him a great start educating him to the big wide world and he lives with a 5 year old groodle foster sister.

Duke deserves a caring family to educate him, show him love, continue teaching him boundaries and give him the best life he deserves.

This organisation's adoption policy is moderate. What does this mean?
(1) The first step is to fill in our online Adoption Questionnaire: https://tinyurl.com/drnadopt
(2) If the questionnaire is approved we will arrange a property check so we can verify that your home and yard are suitable for the pet you've applied for.
(3) After that we will arrange for you to meet the pet, usually at the foster carer's home, nearby park or your home.
(4) If both sides agree, then you can pay for and adopt your new family member! The two week trial begins on the day of adoption.
