About Ducky

Meet Ducky, an adorable 9-pound, 3-year-old, Maltese with a personality as lively as his name suggests! Ducky joined the Misfits Dog Rescue in December 2023 after being surrendered to a shelter due to some behavioral challenges. Since then, we've been working hard with him, and while he's made significant progress, he still has a bit of a spicy streak. Ducky is a little dynamo who absolutely loves playing fetch and would excel in agility training. He's clever and eager to learn, although he does have a bit of trouble focusing at times. He's also made great strides with his barking-he's much quieter now and no longer as frantic as he used to be. One of Ducky's key characteristics is his dominant nature. While he's improved and gets along well with most dogs, he can occasionally be a bit of a bully. He'll do best with an experienced owner who can provide consistent training and set clear boundaries. Potty training is still a work in progress for Ducky, partly because the shelter environment isn't ideal for this type of training. However, he wears belly bands comfortably, which helps manage any accidents. Ducky would thrive in a home where he's the only pet and where someone is around frequently to work with him. Despite his quirks, Ducky is incredibly cute, spunky, and full of personality. He's friendly but can be protective due to his dominant nature, so it's important that he knows you're the boss. Ducky is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm tested, and chipped.
