by dOnnA nEWMAn photo provIded by the cnySpca if duke’s life was a book, it would be called, “When bad things happen to

Good Dogs.” After living the happy life of a beloved dog, duke found himself in the shelter when his family had a change of circumstances. duke is almost six years old and has lived most of his life with one family. he’s lived with children and enjoys them. he likes to play and go for walks, but he also enjoys a good cuddle. When Duke first came to the shelter, he was overwhelmed and confused. now we find that while he may be aloof at first, he warms up quickly and is very affectionate and playful. duke loves tennis balls, toys, treats, and walks, and he’s the star in the shelter training class. he can be protective of his food bowl, so we would suggest a home with older, respectful kids.

Overall, Duke is a staff and volunteer favorite, and once you meet this prince of a dog, duke will be your favorite, too! for more information on adoption, call 315454-4479, email frontdesk1@ cnyspca. org or click on cnyspca.org
