My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

DUNCAN, MALE, 6 MONTHS OLD, 55 POUNDS AND GROWING, HUSKY/LAB/BASSETT MIX

DUNCAN IS BEING FOSTERED IN THE RICHMOND VA AREA. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN DUNCAN, PLEASE GO TO WWW.MOMSVA.ORG AND COMPLETE AN APPLICATION.

Well HELLO! I am Duncan and I am 6 months old, which means I act like a large puppy. They say I am a Lab/Basset mix, based on my looks. I am looking for someone who knows how to be a gentle leader. I can be stubborn so I need someone in charge who can set boundaries for me. But I also have had some unfortunate experiences in my past and need a leader who uses positive reinforcement in a gentle-yet-firm and consistent way.

The best home for me is one where my people are active, confident, experienced dog owners who have patience and are willing to devote time to working with me on a daily basis. I am smart and love to play fetch. I would love to attend an obedience class where I can learn new commands so that I know how to do the right thing. I also love to play with toys.

I have made new dog friends here at my foster home. I tend to do best with an already-well-behaved larger dog that I can use as a role model. If you cannot resist this slight silly face with these beautiful green eyes, go to www.momsva.org and complete an application.
