Duncan is your new best friend; in case you didn’t get that email he has already told everyone in the office. Imagine a 74-pound lap dog, if you let him that is exactly what he will be in your house! This boy is extremely smart and picks up new skills and talents quickly. Want to know more about Mr. Duncan?
If Duncan was a human, his foster said that he would be an NFL player as he is big and athletic. He is the happiest when he is around his people but is still unsure that he knows that he is a rather large dog as he still thinks he is a small puppy or about the size of a Jack Russell Terrier. #IFitsISits As for being social he loves playing with his brother Daytona and his foster siblings, and he really enjoys going for hikes/runs/walks at any time of the day. If you are down, he is down, Duncan is a ride-or-die type of best friend.
During car rides, Duncan loves to look out the window as the world zooms by but will lay down and nap if the ride is a long one. At the vet’s office, he was a little nervous but was a very good boy. Loud noises such as thunder right over the house make him very nervous and want to be with his people. His only social flaw is for some reason he is not a fan of meeting strange men, as he will bark at them. We think with some more training and conditioning that is something that he can overcome. Overall, he is just a big goofy pup that loves playing with his Kong toy and throwing it around.
During Duncan’s time in foster care, he has mastered Sit and Down commands. Currently, he is working overtime on Off, Here, Wait, and proper leash manners. He really wants to make his person happy more than anything, but he also does have a stubborn streak in there. During training, he does not take much correction in order to get him back on the right track. Around the house, he is good for the most part other than mostly “puppy” antics such as sometimes taking a leak on the trashcan (no idea why), but that is getting better. Along with his brother, he was fed table scraps before coming into foster so he will beg for food, and with his food drive, he will also counter surf and has been caught peeking in the trashcan as well. #MightBePartTrashPanda Also, he will pull things into his crate so a sterile area around his crate is for the best.
Duncan is on the hunt for his forever home for someone who will continue his training and spend the majority of their time with him. He would love a home that would take him on adventures to see the wild unknown! We think with his eagerness to please and energy that he might be good at some sports such as obedience or rally. If you have some room in your bed/heart, and looking to gain a new best friend for 2025 look no further than Duncan!
