About Ducky

Ducky is a sweet baby girl born in a rescue after her mom was rescued from a high-kill shelter in Southern California. She and her siblings have been healthy and well-handled since their arrival. Ducky will need training in potty habits, leash skills, crate practices, and all the basics that come with being a new puppy. With her mom weighing around 11 pounds, they expect Ducky to reach a similar size as she grows. At this time, Ducky is too young to be spayed, but once she reaches the appropriate age, the rescue will cover the spay procedure at one of our partnered clinics. Given that she still needs vet care, we’re looking for adopters to stay in the capital region. The adoption fee for Ducky is $650, plus a $100 spay/neuter deposit that is refundable upon completion. Ducky is great with other dogs, cats, and children, making her an ideal family companion. Ready to meet this cute pup? Start the adoption process with us today!
