Each week, the Independent highlights an animal available for adoption at Baypath Humane Society in Hopkinton. This week’s adoptable animal is 5-year-old Duke.

Here is Baypath’s description of Duke:

“Duke is a true family man!

“This gentle giant has lived happily with cats, dogs and kids, making him a great fit for many homes. Almost 5 years old, Duke is ready to win you over with his goofy antics, soulful eyes and endless affection. At 70 pounds, he may look like a tough guy, but deep down, he’s just a big baby who loves to love.

“He’s house-trained, knows basic commands, walks well on leash and absolutely adores his squeaky toys. Most of all, Duke thrives on being close to his people.

“Recently re-homed through no fault of his own, Duke is now looking for a fresh start and a forever family to call his own. Could that be with you?”
