DESCRIPTION
Hello, I'm Duncan! I'm about 9 years old and weigh 51 pounds. I have a medical waiver that staff can discuss with you when you meet me.
I'm eligible for Greenhill's Foster-to-Adopt Program! Through this program, you can foster me to see if we are a good match before committing to an adoption. Canine program staff can tell you more and you can learn more about this program here: www.green-hill.org/foster-to-adopt.
Do you like...
Dogs? I have shown to do okay with calm dogs that can coexist with me and not cross my boundaries. Please bring all the dogs in the home to meet me!
Cats? I have never been around cats. Slow, supervised introductions would set us up for success.
Kids? I'm not a fan of small children. I'd like to meet older kids that can respect my boundaries! 10+
Anything else you'd like us to know, Duncan? I'm an older guy that loves walks, car rides, cuddles, swimming, and relaxing at home!
I came into the shelter as a surrender and the above information is all recommendations based on my previous history and the behavior seen at the shelter. Expect to learn more about me after adoption.
It is unknown how this animal will do in their new home as all animals can be different with each person. It is important to take this into consideration when thinking about adopting and making sure you are prepared to work with any potential medical or behavior issues that occur after adoption.
My adoption fee includes my spay/neuter, current vaccinations, permanent microchip identification, certificate for a free veterinary exam, post-adoption support and more!
Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me! If you think we would be a good match come on down and ask to meet me! I'm looking for my forever home and it could be with you!
ADOPTION INFORMATION: If you live in the city of Eugene or in Lane County you will be purchasing a dog license in addition to the adoption fee. You will get to choose between a one year, two year, or three year license.
This pet is located at Greenhill Humane Society. 88530 Greenhill Road Eugene, OR 97402 (541) 689-1503. See all of the pets at this shelter by visiting www.green-hill.org.
