About this Dog
Duke is the sweetest dog I have ever known. He is so loving and happy. He is honestly a very good boy but he's more than I can handle on my own. He is an Irish Wolfhound Great Pyrenees mix and is 2-year-old now. He's tall and slander and he's probably 115pds with white wiry hair with a few tan spots. He is very good on a leash and trainable. However, he is the Houdini of the dog world when it comes to being on a zipline. He has not met a cable or harness he couldn't get out of. He loves to roam and explore but always comes home and has never hurt any of my neighbors’ animals or the wild animals in the area. He loves to being around my neighbors’ cattle and would be an excellent dog for a farmer or rancher. He does jump up on new people and children but not viciously he's just excitable and wants to play; he has never jumped on small children though. He doesn't jump on me anymore because he knows I don't like it. He has been really good with the small children he has been around and makes friends with other animals easily. Also, he is good in the car and traveling. He just needs someone who can love him the way he deserves to be loved, someone who can give him more than 10-15 minutes with him and can cuddle with him. Someone that knows how to train him. I have had him since he was 8 months, but my life was uprooted and completely changed, and I can't afford to keep him, nor do I have the ability give him the attention he needs. I’m also highly allergic to him. He is vaccinated and chipped, but he is not fixed. Oh, he can be stubborn and picky. I had a nice, insulated doghouse built for him, but he didn't like the insulation and I'm assuming it did not get enough airflow for his liking because he torn out every bit of insulation and removed one of the back walls boards before he started sleeping in it. He fixed it to his liking and now he sleeps in it most nights. He is also very teachable and loving. I love him very much, but I can’t afford to take care of him, and I can’t give him the attention he deserves and keeping him is selfish of me. He really is a great dog and would be an awesome addition to a loving family; or a great companion for someone living on their own.

Adopt DUKE and Receive Dogecoin
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, DUKE's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised. Dogecoin is digital currency that can be exchanged for cash, traded, or held as an investment (see the "What is Dogecoin" section below).
24 DOGE is DUKE's current Dogecoin balance

The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. If you adopted the DUKE, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming DUKE's Dogecoin here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the Dogecoin by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and DUKE was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, DUKE’s Dogecoin balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
"The fun and friendly internet currency."
Dogecoin sets itself apart from other digital currencies with an amazing, vibrant community made up of friendly folks just like you. Dogecoin is a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency that enables you to easily send money online.
Learn more about it on youtube or at dogecoin.com.
We want the DUKE’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, DUKE’s balance will remain in our general Dogecoin fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
