Description
Dog Breed: Mastiff (short coat). Free Training Meet Duke — Big Heart, Big Energy, Big Need for a Hero Duke is back with us — not because he did anything wrong, but because life threw him a curveball. His longtime companion Duchess began struggling with his rough play, and both were returned. Now Duke is confused, grieving, and howling in his kennel, trying to make sense of it all. This big boy has been through a lot. He’s an oversized puppy at heart — full of love, full of energy, and desperate to connect. He wants to make you happy. He just needs someone who understands that big dogs sometimes come with big feelings and big needs. What Duke Needs: - A home with no dogs under 75 lbs - A committed adopter willing to go through our training program - An experienced handler who understands escape artists and can keep him safe - Patience, structure, and a whole lot of love Duke isn’t for everyone. But for the right person, he’ll be everything. If you’ve got the heart, the strength, and the experience to help Duke thrive, he’s waiting — and howling — for you. Duke comes with FREE training with Rosie Dane dog training, thanks to the Pedigree foundation. If you would like to make Duke a part of the family, fill out an application at .barktownrescue/adopt Www.barktownrescue/adopt The shelter software system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of our dogs we are only guessing at the dog's predominant breed or breed mix. We strongly encourage you to select your new pet by looking at each dog's individual personality and pet qualities rather than relying on a breed label that is only our best guess. Our adoption fees vary from $150 and up. All of our dogs are up to date on vaccines, heart worm preventives, and flea/tick medication, and will be spayed/neutered prior to adoption. Portions of your adoption fee also help care for the sick and injured animals that we take in. Thank you for supporting us and considering a rescue dog!

Overview:
The Mastiff, an ancient and noble breed, boasts a history stretching back millennia, often linked to the Molosser dogs of antiquity. Renowned for their immense size, these gentle giants are characterized by their powerful, muscular build, broad head, and short, dense coat typically seen in fawn, apricot, or brindle. Despite their imposing appearance, Mastiffs are famous for their remarkably calm and gentle temperament, making them surprisingly affectionate and devoted companions. They generally get along well with children and other pets, provided they are properly socialized from a young age. While their size might suggest a need for vast spaces, their relatively low energy levels mean they can adapt to apartment living if given regular, moderate exercise. Prospective owners should be aware of common health concerns such as hip and elbow dysplasia, bloat, and eye conditions, necessitating responsible breeding and veterinary care. Their loyalty and protective instincts, combined with their loving nature, make the Mastiff a truly magnificent addition to the right family.
