#107 DUKE (Catahoula) Knoxville, TN-Los Alamos NM 87455

DUKE #107 a 2 y/o, 60#, Catahoula Leopard male began his journey in Bainbridge, GA, before being transported to Knoxville, TN, where Operation Roger team drivers Larry and Tanya H picked him up from Sandra R, an approved Catahoula Rescue foster.
Duke had been thoroughly temperament tested with people, kids and dogs and had passed with flying colors. However, Duke is NOT good with cats, PERIOD! Duke had been in a good shelter but it was a kill shelter.
They had kept Duke longer than his time because he is an exceptional dog! He is a mellow fellow but DOES have a prey drive (per his breed) and is NOT suited to travel or to live with cats.
Larry and Tanya can attest to Duke's prey drive and his dislike of long confinement in a vehicle as he tried on several occassions on the short trip from TN to NM to go through their windshield, cracking it on one occasion. Apparently Duke couldn't figure out why there were no bars and yet he couldn't get outside. He became quite a handful for them.
Duke was picked up in Albuqueque, NM, by Duke's new Catahoula Rescue foster "Mom" Robyn R.
