Joe Duck Black Labrador Retriever Mix South Portland, ME

Duck is a 5 month old puppy that currently weighs about 44lbs. He is expected to be a big boy when he is fully grown. He joined us from our Louisiana partner rescue. He is house trained and crate trained and loves his people. He is being fostered with young children and doing great! He loves snuggles!

His Maine foster family had this to say about him:

Joe Duck very quickly has everyone in the house believing that they’re his favorite person!
He is SO waggy, wiggly, and kissy, and just wants to be near his people!
He’s been great with our other animals - interested in playing with the dog but respectful of the boundaries she sets, and politely interested in the cats but giving them plenty of space.

He slept in the crate all night, and hasn’t had any accidents. He’s very happy and sweet - carrying his toys around and wagging in that derpy retriever way - and would make a great addition to any family!
