About Duffy

Duffy is a sweet 9-year-old Miniature Poodle who needs a loving retirement home. Sadly, he was surrendered after his owner passed away and spent some time with a friend before arriving at the rescue. Duffy is on a weight loss journey, as he is currently overweight, but aside from that and a mild heart murmur, he has a clean bill of health. This affectionate boy has a delightful habit of doing a little stomp when he gets excited, which is sure to bring a smile to your face. Duffy is friendly with everyone — he gets along with dogs, cats, and children alike, making him a wonderful addition to any family. He’s calm and gentle, ready to share his love in a cozy home.
