My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

**Currently in foster** I'm introducing myself to you as a very independent, a little shy, and intelligent dog.

My name is XL Duck. And I didn't grow up socializing with people a lot. So it takes me some time to get used to new human beings.

But once I know you, you are my best friend. I love running, and running, and running. I met quite a few dogs at the shelter, and they all became my friends therefore I'd love the company of another dog in my new home!

When I was in a foster home, I was quiet and non-destructive, but preferred the company of other dogs. I've made a lot of human friends at the shelter, and I love to play with them and get scratches.
