About Duffy

Duffy is a blue and white Terrier mix with a lot of heart and personality. At just under five years old, he’s already shown a remarkable resilience as a Distemper survivor, sporting a quirky little twitch that makes him even more endearing. He’s goofy, playful, and happiest with a soft spot to nap and a bully stick to chew. Crate trained and house trained, Duffy is a reliable housemate who moves at a gentle pace and loves his routines. New faces may take a bit of slow, patient introduction, but once you’re friends, you’re in his club for good. Duffy does best as the only pet in the home and needs a calm household with teens or adults ready to treat him as part of the family. He thrives on regular walks and appreciates a steady, understanding hand. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
