Duke Nukem Mixed Breed Philadelphia, PA

Duke Nukem was found as a stray and has been adjusting to shelter life since arriving on February 28. This gentle boy recently spent some time in playgroup, where he showed just how soft and sweet he truly is. In the yard, Duke remained gentle throughout and gave only mild corrections when needed. His calm and easygoing demeanor suggests that, with time and patience, he'll continue to build confidence and come out of his shell.

Duke is looking for a kind and understanding adopter who can give him the love and security he deserves. Could that be you?

Eligible for rescue, foster, and adoption. Meet Duke Nukem at ACCT Philly any day of the week from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., or email foster@acctphilly.org to express interest in fostering.
