(Michigan City, IN) - A dog has finally been adopted after spending well over a year at the Michiana Humane Society in Michigan City.

 

“Duke” arrived just after Christmas of 2021 when his owner passed away, where he was allowed to play with volunteers and staff members while being cared for on weekends by a foster mom.

 

However, he was still having bouts of kennel stress, which created doubt on whether he would ever find a new home. This doubt extended further, begging the question as to if his prolonged stay at the shelter was worth it considering what he was going through, per MHS Executive Director Johanna Humbert.

 

Over the Memorial Day weekend however, Humbert said a man came in to meet another dog, only to hit it off with Duke instead. A few days later, the man took the dog home after the adoption process was completed.

 

Humbert has thanked the many people who did their part to help Dule find relief from the stress of being at a kennel for so long, and pushed for his continued care.

 

“It took each and every one to get him to adoption day,” she said.
