About Duncan

Duncan is a petite mixed breed, around 2 years old, who is struggling to adapt to the shelter environment. The noise and constant activity are overwhelming for this sensitive little guy. He truly needs a calm and loving home where he can feel safe and relaxed. After being abandoned, Duncan is starting to reveal glimpses of the sweet companion he can be, despite his initial worries. With time and care, he shows potential to trust and bond. Although we haven't completed a full test with other dogs yet, he has displayed signs that he might get along well, which we are eager to explore further as we learn about him. Duncan seeks an adopter who understands that some dogs need extra time to settle in. The shelter may not reflect his true nature, but we believe his personality will flourish once he finds a secure and loving environment. If you're ready to give a loyal companion the patience he deserves, Duncan could be the perfect match for you. Let’s help Duncan find his happy ending together. What are you waiting for?
