Duncan's Story

Hi, I’m Duncan — Your 27-Pound Senior Snuggle Specialist<br/><br/>Hello, world. I’m Duncan, a 9yearold, 27-pound, black-and-white terrier mix who is officially ready for my retirement home. Yes, I’m a senior. Yes, I’m adorable. Yes, I fully intend to hog your bed and your heart.<br/><br/>I’m a polite gentleman who walks beautifully on a leash. Crates? Never used one. Don’t need one. I do great in the house like the civilized king I am. I handle my potty business outside but heads up — I’ll need a belly band at first while I adjust to your schedule. I’m a senior; I like routine.<br/><br/>I’m incredibly social and get along wonderfully with my foster brothers and sisters. I’m also cat friendly, which means I’m basically perfect. I’m good with kids too, but let’s be honest — I prefer older children who won’t interrupt my relaxed senior pace with sticky fingers or sudden chaos.<br/><br/>What Makes Me Iconic<br/>• The Ultimate Snuggle Bug: I sleep right in bed next to you. And yes, I hog the covers. I have no shame.<br/>• Animal Planet Enthusiast: I love watching Animal Planet and will “talk” to the TV. It’s hilarious. I’m basically a critic.<br/>• Doorbell Correspondent: I’m not a big barker, but I will proudly announce when someone is at the door.<br/>• Foster Sibling Approved: I love hanging out with my canine foster siblings. Toys? Meh. I’m above them.<br/><br/>Health Note<br/>I’m heartworm positive, but don’t panic — I’m on the safe, easy “slow kill” treatment. I just need a family who will keep up with my monthly preventative while my body does the rest.<br/><br/>I’m currently living in Hampton, VA, but I can be transported to other states if my perfect retirement home is waiting for me. A transport fee may apply if volunteer transport isn’t available.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate, TV commentating, cover hogging senior gentleman who just wants a cozy couch and a loving human, I’m ready for you.
