Life in the Shelter

Duggy first made his way to the shelter in July 2022, arriving as a stray in search of safety and love.

Through careful training and patience, they began to unlock Duggy’s playful side, transforming him from a reserved pup into the playful pooch he was meant to be. He started to show his love for outdoor walks and cuddling in fluffy blankets, creating a bond with the staff that was heartfelt and genuine.

The Moment of Adoption

Fast forward over two years, and the big day finally arrived: Duggy was adopted! His new owner was someone who understood the importance of taking things slow. They allowed Duggy the freedom to approach at his own pace, which proved to be a winning strategy. During their first meeting, Duggy opened up faster than he had with many of the shelter staff, a sign that his new dad was just the right fit.
