About Duncan

Meet Duncan, a charming guy around 9 years old and weighing 51 pounds. He carries a medical waiver that the staff can discuss with you when you come to meet him. Duncan is a participant in the Foster-to-Adopt Program at Greenhill, allowing you to foster him temporarily to see if he’s the perfect match for your family. He does well with calm dogs that respect his space, so it’s important to bring your current pets for introductions. When it comes to cats, he’s untested; slow introductions could help them get acquainted. Duncan prefers older kids aged 10 and above who understand his boundaries. An affectionate older gentleman, Duncan enjoys walks, car rides, cuddles, swimming, and just lounging at home. He was surrendered to the shelter, and while his behavior has been observed, he may reveal more of his personality once settled in a new home. Be aware that adjustments may be necessary after adoption. Duncan comes spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and includes a free vet exam—plus ongoing support after adoption. Thank you for considering this wonderful pup! If you think he might be the one for you, come meet him soon!
