Lulu and Duke bonded pair

Meet Duke & Lulu – Bonded Best Friends

Lulu pink collar (3-year-old spayed female, DOB 11/26/2022) and Duke green collar (4-year-old male, DOB 9/4/2021)are a bonded Great Dane pair who recently lost both their owner and their home. After so many changes in a short time, they are looking for a stable, loving family who can offer them security, structure, and plenty of attention.

Personalities

Duke is the strong, silent type who prefers to sit back, observe, and take his cues from Lulu. He warms up to new people quickly and has a calm, steady presence once he feels secure. Lulu is affectionate and playful but needs a little time to feel comfortable with new faces before her sweet, goofy side really shines.

Both dogs are very people-oriented, love attention, and are eager to please. They would do well in a home that enjoys interactive dogs who want to be involved in daily family life.

Home Skills & Behavior

• Both Lulu and Duke  travel very well in the car.

• They are crate trained and settle nicely in their crates when needed.

• They have lived peacefully with several inside/outside cats.

• They are reported to have a high prey drive and do not do well with small dogs such as Chihuahuas.

Their current caretakers note that Lulu and Duke listen reasonably well but would benefit from reinforcement of general manners and continued leash training. A structured environment with clear, consistent expectations will help them thrive.

Ideal Home

Lulu and Duke have only had limited exposure to children, interacting a few times with a 12-year-old nephew. Because of their size, energy, and prey drive, they will be best suited to:

• An adult-only home or one with dog-experienced older children.

• A family committed to keeping them together as a bonded pair.

• Adopters who can provide time, training, and daily engagement.

If you are looking to add a pair of lovable, entertaining, in-your-face Danes to your family, Lulu and Duke may be the perfect match. Keep an eye out for updates as they continue to settle into rescue and show more of their wonderful personalities.
