Duke is Lovable and Goofy – Pet of the Week
Every Thursday morning at 7:10 am on the Lite Rock Morning Show, the Humane Society of Ocean City introduces the new Lite Rock Pet of the Week.
If you are thinking about adding a pet to your family, please consider adopting from the Humane Society of Ocean City, a no-kill shelter recognized as one of the nation’s top ten animal shelters.
This week we met Duke, the dog.
Here's some information on Duke from the Humane Society of Ocean City:
"Duke is a big, goofy coonhound mix that is around 6-years-old. He loves to go on walks and run around the yard. He would love to be your jogging, hiking, and/or camping partner.
Duke was surrendered to the shelter when his owners decided they didn't have the time for him. He does well on walks with other dogs but would prefer to live alone.
He cannot be trusted with cats, unfortunately. Older kids would be fine due to his exuberance."
