About Ducky

Ducky is a charming 2-year-old Chihuahua mix weighing 13 pounds. Though he might seem a bit shy at first, this little guy takes his time getting to know new friends. Ducky believes in building confidence at his own pace, and rushing into relationships just isn't his style. When Ducky feels comfortable, his playful personality shines bright. He’s already mastered walking on a leash beautifully, making him the perfect companion for strolls around the neighborhood. Ducky would thrive in a home that offers patience and encouragement as he grows. Just like a duckling learning to swim, he needs time to spread his wings—err, little duck feet! Ducky is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and tested negative for heartworm and tick disease. If you're ready to help him come out of his shell, don’t hesitate. He may take a little time to warm up, but the bond you’ll form will be worth the wait!
