Von Drake (Duckie)

Von Drake is a senior who will turn 12 in December although he acts like he is much younger with hardly any grey on his muzzle. He was given to us to find him a home because there was health problems in his last family and they could not care for him any longer.

Duckie, as we call him now, is a large, mini longhaired chocolate with some lighter brown highlights. He is a few pounds overweight because he got a bit bored being outside at his last home and would dig out when left in the yard to go visit the local Dairy Queen where they fed him treats.

He is not a dog to be left in the yard because he prefers people, laps and lots of brushings. He hasn't tried to leave our yard yet and loves any attention. He won't dig out if you do not ignore him.

Duckie has done nothing wrong here. He is sweet, kind, happy and hasn't tried to escape at all. He was a very cherished pet at one point and loves everyone. And he is housebroke mostly with a few reminders. We kennel him at night just in case and he is doing well there in that department.

He is also a hunter we are told. He loves to chase our cats so he can not be placed in a home with other small animals. He also needs his senior naps so small children are not the best either in his sunset years.

Duckie runs and zooms with our kids all day and has a grand time. He is losing weight and looking much better in the chubby department. If they had not of told me his age I would of guessed he was no more than six.

He was used as a stud dog and will still need to be neutered with your adoption fee. (He has an apointment soon to be fixed.) And he was just wormed and given his shots, but will need boosters when you take him home. His teeth will need some attention soon too. We will be happy to consider a discount on his adoption fee to the right home who will love and cherish this very sweet old dog.

Need a sweet and active lap dog? He's your boy. He adores the brushings and comes with several brushes to keep his coat glossy and shiny.

We took him to an adoption event this last weekend and he did very well with all the kids and people hugging for several hours.
