Description
💙 Meet Duffy – Our Beautiful Segugio Italiano Survivor 💙
📍 Fostered in Corbridge, Northumberland
🕒 3 years old | ⚖️ Around 20kg | Medium size
Duffy’s story is one of heartbreak turned into hope. Rescued from an illegal breeding and “training” operation, this striking Segugio Italiano mix was found locked in a cage — starving, dehydrated, and covered in bite marks. Thanks to the kindness of strangers, he was freed and given a chance to begin again.
Despite everything he’s endured, Duffy is a gentle, affectionate boy with a heart full of love. His foster mum calls him “the loveliest dog I’ve ever fostered.”
✨ What Duffy offers:
• Handsome, soulful, and full of life
• Housetrained and walking well on the lead
• Loving and loyal once he knows you
• Great with other dogs
🏡 Duffy’s ideal home:
• A confident, active family who can match his joyful energy
• A doggy companion to play with
• No cats, please
• Someone experienced with hounds or lively breeds
In return, Duffy will give you more love, joy, and loyalty than you could imagine. This boy is ready to leave his past behind and embrace a brighter future — could it be with you?
