Meet Ducky

When Ducky first arrived at the shelter, he was emaciated and desperately underweight. Thankfully, that rough chapter is behind him. Since arriving, Ducky has been thriving. He has gained weight, looks so much healthier, and is blossoming into the energetic, sweet young dog we're getting to know. Ducky may be named after a fowl, but apparently his real passion is squirrel surveillance. He is actually very good on leash, but squirrels immediately get his attention. Interestingly, turkeys...not impressed. Apparently Ducky has standards when it comes to wildlife. In the play yard, Ducky is initially excited and jumpy, but once his volunteer sits down, he settles considerably and happily soaks up the affection. Ducky hasn't quite figured out the game of fetch yet. But if you crouch down and open your arms, he'll come bounding happily back to you, sans toy...and he even puts on the brakes instead of crashing into you! He is very easy to bring back inside when playtime is over. Ducky has already come such a long way since arriving at the shelter. He still has plenty to learn, including the minor technicality that fetch generally requires returning with the toy, but he's young, affectionate, playful, and eager to engage with people. Now that Ducky is healthy and getting stronger, we'd really love for the next chapter of his story to begin in a home of his own. Come meet Ducky and see if this handsome, goofy boy is your new best friend. Make an appointment through yoloshelter.org/dogs, or adopt@yoloshelter.org.
