Duke, a four-year-old dog, was returned to a Las Vegas-based animal shelter for being “too boring”. Shortly after, the good boy immediately found a new foster home.
The Las Vegas-based animal shelter, The Animal Foundation, posted about Duke on Thursday, August 8, saying: “Duke is looking for a new home because his constant napping and apparent lack of enthusiasm made him the wrong fit for his last family.”
“And that’s okay. We’re confident that there’s plenty of people who would vibe with 4-year-old Duke’s lack of energy,” the animal shelter added.
The animal shelter also reveals that Duke’s former family was complaining about how the pooch sleeps all day and how he doesn’t get up to greet the family when they get home.
The Animal Foundation joked about the description being “what our moms used to say about us when we used to hibernate in our bedrooms as teenagers.”
The post about Duke went viral and on the same day, he was already headed to a loving foster home.
According to USA Today, Duke first arrived at the Animal Foundation on June 23 and was adopted by his former family on July 06.
He was later returned a month after but now stays with his new foster mom, Sue Marshall. Talking to USA Today, Marshall reveals that Duke is adjusting to his new home.
She also confirmed that the pooch loooooves sleeping! “He is doing well, he climbed up on the sofa with me last night and put his head in my lap,” Marshall said.
However, while the pooch loves sleeping, Marshall reveals that he is a real sweetheart and loves attention.
Marshall absolutely fell in love with Duke and has revealed that she is planning to officially adopt Duke and is currently working to find out the steps involved in doing so.
Online users couldn’t help but comment about how Duke was actually the “dream dog”. One user wrote, “Boring is the best! Those people didn’t deserve him.” While another wrote, “Duke sounds like the perfect dog!”
Some users also criticized Duke’s previous family. One even wrote, “Maybe they weren’t fun and he was unimpressed.”
