Duke is looking for a new Home!

Meet handsome and sweet Duke. Duke was adopted from a Humane Society by a nice family when he was just a puppy. His family had not been familiar with the English Setter breed and didn't know how big Setters can get and that they need quite a bit room to run.
Duke is now 9 months old and his family loves him dearly. However, they see that their backyard and house is really not spacious enough to allow Duke enough exercise and they are looking for the right family with a large yard to run in--to do the right thing for this fella.
Duke is a typical English Setter. He loves to race around the yard after birds and squirrels. He's a lanky fella that's very svelte and is still growing into his long legs. He's weighing approximately 46 lbs now, but will likely gain another 10 lbs by the time he's all done growing and filled out.



Duke enjoys ANY type of stuffed toys, will run around the yard with them, shake them---and of course---in honored tradition---get the stuffing out.

Duke has grown up around to kids and feels very much at ease around them. He loves to play with them.

Duke will not say no to a game of tug-of-war either!!

After a good chase out in the yard, Duke is ready to settle in.
Duke is a cuddle bug with the family and enjoys the love and attention he gets from all family members.
He is housebroken and is good sport about going into his crate when the family has to leave the house.
He's also been very good about not bolting out of the door when somebody comes visiting.

Duke is also good company around household chores---such as vaccuuming. He's not afraid of the vaccuum---just the opposite. His family gives him little massages with the vaccuum attachment and he LOVES it!
Though it can be so tempting, Duke is even staying out of the kitchen trash---he's really a good pup all around!

Duke is sharing his home with another dog and also has frequent visits from neighborhood pups. He's getting along fine with everybody.
Actually, the boxer from around the block loves to come visit and wrestle with Duke and they are the best of friends.

Please consider this wonderful setter boy when looking for a companion. Might you have the right kind of situation for him?
