Hi There! My name is Duke and I am one special guy. I am about 3 years old and a total sweetheart. I came to LEARN a couple months ago from a rescue in Texas. When I came into rescue in Texas, they found that I had a major trauma to one of my eyes. It was determined that there was no saving the eye and that it needed to be removed. So I came to LEARN as a dog that was always winking at you for attention. When I got to my foster home they noticed that one of my hind legs wasn't working like it should. I didn't really use it and if I did it was mostly for balance. (But don't think that having a bad leg slowed me down, I can run like the wind on 3 legs!) I have seen a couple specialists and it was determined that we could try and do multiple surgeries and try to save the leg but that the best option for a long and pain free life was to remove my bad leg. So this Friday is the day, I am having my leg removed and I have decided that I am no longer going to be a winking dog but a super tough pirate! I am totally going to rock the eye patch and a wooden leg (its just a giant stick, right?). So I will always win any costume contest you put me in. Who could resist me!!! I will be looking for my new forever home in a couple weeks once I have recovered from my surgery. I do great with other dogs, I LOVE people, I think I would like kids but I haven't been around them much. If you are willing to open your heart and home to a one eyed, three legged dog that will give you so much love and affection, you have found the right dog, me, DUKE!
