Duncan was found living in extreme abuse and neglect with 130 other animals in a breeding home in Solon. He was rescued by “Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland”, who worked around the clock to help him survive.

The breeder and kennel owner, Donna Noyes, was later charged with animal cruelty. However, she got off easy with a fine of $500 and restitution cost of $4,000.

Duncan was recovering in his foster home when the shelter submitted his Puppy Bowl application. In the meantime, Duncan befriended the Herrick family in his neighborhood.

The Herricks fell in love with the affectionate and playful 9-month-old and immediately decided to adopt him!
