Meet Duncan – the silver fox of your dreams, freshly groomed and ready to dazzle!
 
Duncan is a 9 year old Maltese-Poodle mix who just got a fresh shave so his signature luscious, long locks can grow back in all their glory. Don’t let the short 'do fool you—it’s temporary, and underneath it all is a future fluffy superstar. As a non-shedding dog, Duncan is a great option for allergy-sensitive households. And with Malti-Poos often living well into their late teens (16, 17, even 18!), Duncan is just hitting his stride in midlife—think cruise control with occasional bursts of puppy playfulness.
 
Duncan came to us when another rescue was out of space, and he trotted right into our arms like he knew he’d found his people. At 12 pounds, he’s the perfect size for lap lounging, couch cuddling, and light adventuring. He’s a happy little guy with a spring in his step and a heart full of love. His favorite things? Following you around the house, sunbathing in the backyard, and curling up for a TV marathon with his humans. He’s a fabulous work-from-home buddy who’s just as content chilling quietly as he is heading out for a walk or a romp with a doggy friend.
 
Duncan has an easygoing daily rhythm—snoozing in until 8am, greeting the morning with tail wags, and heading out for potty time before breakfast. He spends the day lounging near his people, collecting snuggles, enjoying a few tasty treats, and sneaking in an afternoon stroll or backyard sun session. By evening, he’s a certified lap warmer, winding down with you until it’s time to head off to bed.
 
He’s crate trained, walks beautifully on a leash, and has lived happily with other dogs. Duncan is a perfect match for just about any home—first-time dog families or seasoned pet parents alike. Kids should be 5 or older to ensure everyone respects his chill vibe.
 
If you’re looking for a sweet, soulful companion with just the right amount of pep, Duncan is ready to be your loyal sidekick. He may be nine, but he’s living proof that midlife is when the magic really begins. Come meet your next best friend—Duncan’s waiting!
