Meet Duncan! This handsome adult Maltese is a smart and affectionate boy with a soft side, but he does come with some very specific needs. Duncan is looking for an experienced and understanding adopter who will respect his boundaries without exception.
Duncan is a resource guarder and will guard his food, treats, and toys. He does not tolerate people reaching into his space, especially his crate. Because of this, Duncan is not a good fit for homes with children, other dogs, or high-energy environments. He truly thrives in calm, low-stimulation settings where he can make choices on his own terms.
Despite his challenges, Duncan is a very sweet and cuddly companion who loves to curl up in your lap or snuggle on the couch. He's already potty trained and crate trained, and his treat-motivated nature makes structured training and routines very effective for him. He enjoys toys (with supervision) and learning new things.
