Notes from Scout's Honor Rescue

Duke would like to speak to whoever decided “senior” means boring.

Because Duke is having none of that.

This handsome older gentleman was found wandering as a stray, although everything about him says he once belonged to somebody. He’s heartworm negative. He has manners. He knows how to live with people.

He also appears to have retained approximately zero interest in acting his age.

Duke loves walks. He loves other dogs. He loves people.

Actually, “loves people” may be underselling it. Duke approaches life like everyone he meets has been waiting all day specifically to see him.

And honestly? He may be right.

He’s got that wonderful senior-dog combination: enough life experience to know how to behave, with enough spunk left to make you laugh.

No puppy chaos. No existential crisis over whether the couch is edible. Just a very good boy who would like a home, some walks, regular snacks, and people who understand that forever actually means forever.

If your house has room for one charming older gentleman with excellent social skills and absolutely no intention of fading quietly into retirement, Duke would like to submit his application.

Or, technically, you submit yours.

Apply to adopt Duke at www.scoutshonor.org.

Please share him, too. Somewhere out there is a person who has no idea their next best friend is currently named Duke.
