About Duffy

Duffy is a charming ten-year-old Yorkshire Terrier. Weighing in at just 10 pounds, he showcases a lively personality that makes him a delightful companion. Friendly and sociable, Duffy gets along well with people and has been known to play well with other dogs. He hasn’t had experience with children, so a home with kids eight and older would be best to ensure a smooth interaction. While Duffy has never met a cat, his gentle temperament suggests he could adjust well with proper introductions. Rescued from a suburban neighborhood, Duffy came to us needing significant dental care; he has since recovered and is now a healthy, happy boy. He enjoys walking on a leash, and he's both house trained and crate trained. A toy enthusiast, Duffy loves to play and is equally content snuggling for a nap with his human. Duffy is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, and microchipped. If he sounds like the perfect addition to your family, please reach out for more information.
