Duke is 3-year-old pit bull terrier. He was surrendered to the T. Russell Reitz Animal Shelter and has been up for adoption since Oct. 5. Duke is a sweet dog but is very strong and energetic. He has a bad shoulder, so any future owner will have to monitor his activity.
While Duke is great with people, he does not interact well with other dogs. Due to his enthusiasm and strength, Duke would probably not be suitable in a family with small children.
Duke likes the outdoors and open space to play in. Duke would be perfect for someone with previous dog experience, especially someone familiar with pit bulls.
