Duffy's Story

Profile Information/tell us more about this pet	Duffy is such a happy little guy. I have 2 senior dogs that are not fans of this cutie’s energy. When he gets outside, he is a bouncy, zooming machine and would LOVE a backyard with another dog to play with. He still hasn’t mastered stairs or walking on the leash. Now that he’s had his shots, we will work on this. Barks occasionally, mainly when playing/zoomie or when trying to entice my dog to play. He has mostly slept in the bed with us & he settles in nicely & sleeps thru the night. As soon as we start to stir, we let him outside where he happily does his business. He hasn’t been left alone for more than a few hours at a time & he’s done well. As he’s a puppy, he does/can chew. I’ve had to put the couch throw pillows out of reach & he does have a liking for phone cords. He does his business on a pee pad only when his already on the floor. He is too frightened to jump off the couch & I’ve had to spot clean a few times. No issues w/ food whatsoever. He eats whenever he wants. ADOPTION FEE $595
