Weight: 11.5 lbs.
2/11/14 - Hi, it's me, Duffy. Since I'm up for adoption, and my foster mom hasn't said anything about me needing to pack because a great new family was adopting me, I thought I'd write an update for my bio. I just don't think you people understand just how great of a pup I am. I think I failed to get my point across previously since I was feeling bad. Obviously, my description didn't do it's job, so here goes:
My name is Duffy and I am just about the sweetest pup you will ever find. I love people, love other dogs, am great with cats and am respectful of respectful children. I am in a foster home with two large dogs and several cats.. It is harmony over here. I run with the big dogs as if I'm 50 lbs. and creep with the cats as if I'm 5 lbs. I can play, play, play, so will need another fursibling that wants to have fun. But, when I see my human sit, everything else goes out the window, and I'm there. I follow her EVERYWHERE. Even when she doesn't seem to make any sense and goes in and out of the same rooms we've just been in. I'm still on her heels. I am a lover and would snuggle with you 24/7 if you let me. I love sleeping in the human bed with my people and get so comfortable, I'm just like another person.
I will need a fenced yard to run and play in with my fursibling. Doing well on potty training, but will have the occasional accident. I'm going to have to blame this on foster mom and dad since I do not have thumbs and can't reach the doorknob. I also LOVE to eat.
So..... playful, sweet, cute, respectful, good sleeper, great snuggler, not too large, not too small. I could go on and on, but I figure I'll let you adopt me and let you learn the rest for yourself.

12/5/13 - Dear Santa:
My name is Duffy. This year, I’m not asking for any toys, I don’t need a new bed and I’m not requesting any treats. What I would like for Christmas, is a family.
You see, I was picked up by the local animal shelter in very bad shape. I was hungry, skinny, sick and matted. I'm now in a foster home and all that dirty, matted hair is gone, I've had my first doctor appt. to start me on my way to being fully vetted, and I'm eating good and sleeping sound now. So now I’m looking for someone who will love me, play with me and not treat me bad. I promise to always be a good boy for them and love them unconditionally. You can let them know that I love playing with other dogs and wouldn't mind sharing the attention and food. You can tell my new parents that I’m doing well on my potty training, with a few accidents, and love to get attention. I am still in puppy stage, so some chewing has started to arise, but please forgive me as I am young.
Oh, the cookies and milk beside my bed are for you and the reindeer. I’m not trying to bribe you or anything, but Christmas is soon approaching and I have to pull out all the stops. Thank you santa. Duffy
