ESRA Michigan needs a foster or foster-to-adopt home for 1.5-year-old Duckie, who's unspayed and will need to be spayed at ESRA's expense.
Duckie has been bounced around repeatedly in her short life and is currently northeast of Muskegon. She has already had three homes, but ESRA is committed to finding her a true forever home.
Duckie is 33 pounds and loves playing with her unneutered Springer brother, though she took about a week to warm up to him.
She's reactive with other dogs and growls when another dog is close to her food or chew toys. She also growls at her brother she's done playing or doesn't want to play.
However, it's very possible much of that behavior will ease with training, consistency, and being spayed.
Duckie lives with two cats, one that's outgoing and another that hides. She plays with the outgoing cat and is very gentle with the shyer one. She has, however, killed the family's chickens.
Duckie is great with kids and people, and though she growls a little first, she lets her mom take food and toys away from her. Her mom says she's "loyal, loving, full of life, and will follow you everywhere."
She's currently on Prozac because she was harming herself trying to escape her wire crate. Her family now crates her in a plastic crate, and she's better in it while the family is gone and the dogs must be separated.
