le" (and he chooses who they will be) and takes a while time to get used to strangers. Once he gets over his "OMG is that a leash?" excitement, Duke quiets down and walks nicely with you. He'll do best in a home that's not in a terribly busy area, and has enough space for him to run around and get out his excitable "zoomies!" Duke has recently moved to foster care and he loves being in a home. He has become a runner! His foster dad says he is a great running buddy. He would be at his best in a quiet home with patient owners and no children or cats. We cat-tested Duke and he really wants to get along but he just gets so excited he doesn't know how! Duke could get along with other dogs his size with proper and slow introductions. Name: Duke Location: Foster Care (All our dog meets are by appointment for approved adopters only.) Breed: Chihuahua mix (Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label) Age: 2-4 years old Weight: 15 pounds Reason for surrender to shelter: Duke's owners were moving and couldn't take him with them. If you are interested in meeting Duke, please email adoptions@phillypaws.org for an application.
