NAME: Ducky
BREED: Havanese/Maltese mix
SEX: male
COLOR: white
AGE: 12 yrs as of Feb 2026
WEIGHT: 15 lbs
NOTES FROM FOSTER FAMILY:
Ducky has been working so hard on healing, and we’re finally seeing some sunshine peek through the clouds.
**His skin is improving.
** We’re spotting tiny little sprouts of fur starting to grow back. Yes… fuzz!
** His ears are looking so much better.
** He’s taking thyroid medication to help regulate his body and support healthy skin and coat growth.
Healing like this doesn’t happen overnight. It’s slow, steady, and sometimes measured in millimeters of fluff. But every small change feels like striking gold.
Right now, because his skin is still delicate, Ducky has to wear soft t-shirts to help protect him from scratching and irritation. We change them daily to keep everything clean and comfortable.
