Ducky

Ducky

5 years old

Lovely Ducky has been living as a pet for the last three years and has been returned to our care through no fault of her own. In her previous home, Ducky was able to spend 8+ hours home alone by herself, so she may be great for full time workers! She has also been noted to love canine company, and we think she may be great in a home with another medium or large sized dog, or fine on her own! Ducky has a sensitive throat, so needs to be walked with a harness. As she can be a little excitable, we think she would be best in a home without any elderly, and would be ok with children aged 10 or older.
