About Duke

Hi this is Duke. He is a five year old purebred basset hound (born may 2019 and came with breeders papers). He is quite healthy. We love him, but he needs a new loving home. He is a special guy and deserves the home that will be best for him. He loves to run and play. He's goofy and silly. He loves company and being with his people. That being said, the honest truth is that he is a complicated fellow and has some issues. He is, for the most part a lovely dog and in the right house he would be a wonderful addition. He needs a situation very different than we are able to offer him. He has resource guarding/ aggression and has bitten and lunged. (Unfortunately he has even broken skin, which I have been told by several people, is a line many people hold) He does try to be a good buddy to other animals, but is not perfect with boundaries and will chase if a cat (or bike etc)runs. He does love kids, but does not completely understand boundaries and with his guarding issues it is hard to trust him around them. I believe he would be a wonderful dog in a house with no kids and no other pets and with humans who have quite a bit of time and energy and willing ness to work with him. He would just love to be an adored only child. I feel that the life we have, with multiple busy humans(children and adults)and several other pets does not offer him the security his anxiety needs. And we do not have the time to give full attention and really help him. I feel horrible to be giving up on him. But to be honest I cannot trust him anymore. I know it's not really his fault. But I also know he needs a home that is a better fit for him. So if you believe you are, or know someone who is, the right person to take on a project of love that I believe would be very worthwhile, please help. I so want him to go to a good home. I worry that his issues might make him hard to adopt at a shelter with limited space and funds. But I also feel a sense of urgency because I don't think here is working very well for any of us, canine or human.
