Meet the Dude!  He will be excited to meet you as he loves all humans and dogs.  He may be a little much for small humans and small dogs as he can get a little exuberant but he is very good at listening if you tell him to settle down.  He likes to please his humans.

Dude came to the shelter when he as only 3 months old and he was diagnosed with a grade V heart murmur.  One of the valves in his heart was not working right and the cardiologist said it could get better as he grew or maybe not.  There was no way to know for sure and the only treatment was to put him on some medication to help his heart work.  

Now that he has grown to almost his adult size, he went for a checkup.  No murmur was detected, chest radiographs were normal and results from the Cardiopet proBNP Test were also normal!  (The  Cardiopet proBNP Test measures cardiac enzymes which can indicate the heart’s health.)


Dude has been a really good puppy so his foster mom was a little worried that he was so good because he was sick but it looks like he is just a good boy.  He loves to play “chase the toy/ball but when he brings it back, he usually will not give it up.  He has entertained himself with toys but he also plays really well with other dogs that are over 15 pounds.

He is crate trained, house trained and knows “sit”.  He rides well in the car but he may have to be lifted in until he learns more about vehicle trips.  He is used to a large fenced yard so will need work on learning to walk on a leash.  He would love another medium to large dog to play with and it would give him the exercise he needs so that you don’t have to do it all!

Dude is fostered in Holland, MI.
