CULLMAN, Ala. – The Cullman County Animal Shelter’s Donna Ruttkay shares The Cullman Tribune Pet of the Week.

Duke is a big boy, a 2.5-year-old Great Dane mix. He’s a lively-but-not-hyper medium-energy pet who’s very good on the leash and has good spatial awareness. He enjoys getting out and running around the exercise yard at the shelter, but always pays attention to where his people are. He likes to hang around but won’t crowd your space.

Ruttkay said Duke has a “kindhearted personality.” 

Duke has the makings of a good therapy, hiking or companion dog.

Duke’s adoption fee is $100 which includes: DHLPP vaccine, Bordetella vaccines, rabies vaccine, wormer, general exam at the vet, neutering, microchip, free 30-day health insurance policy issued by 24PetWatch (with valid email only) and a free bag of food from Cullman Pet Depot (you must pay sales tax).

Animal shelter staff and volunteers work with their dogs to make sure they are accustomed to being around people, walking on a leash and practicing good behavior. Several of the shelter’s canine friends have even been “hired” to work as therapy and special needs service dogs.  

Please consider adopting, to give a rescued pet a chance at a happy and healthy life.
