Hello there! My name is Duke, and I'm a handsome 3-year-old Lhasa Apso/Shih Tzu mix who weighs about 25 pounds. My heart has always believed in love, and after a difficult start, I'm ready to share that love with my forever family. I was born in an abandoned place and spent my entire life on a chain in a dark, windowless corner. The weather was harsh, food was scarce, and I watched life pass me by, longing for connection and freedom. One day, kind people came, saw me, and with a miracle, the chain was broken. I didn't know what freedom felt like at first, but running through the grass and feeling the sun on my face was an incredible awakening. I've since discovered soft beds, tasty treats, and gentle hands. I love to follow my humans, cuddle up beside them, and feel their presence. Despite my past, I hold no anger, only hope for a loving family to become my best friend, couch companion, hiking buddy, and loyal shadow. I'm the perfect size to fit beside you, ready to celebrate happy moments and comfort you through difficult ones. I've waited three years for someone to love me forever, and I hope that someone is you!
