DUNCAN is ready to show you that the best conversations don’t always require words. Sometimes, all it takes is a wagging tail, a goofy smile, and a loving gaze.

DUNCAN is free to adopt through Saturday, October 3, so you can take this handsome boy home for FREE! Come meet him and see if he’s the perfect match for you!

More About the Vanderburgh Humane Society

The VHS was founded in 1957 to protect homeless animals, intervene for animals in abusive environments, and provide community education to encourage prevention of animal abuse and pet overpopulation. Located in Evansville, Indiana, the VHS serves as a surrender and adoption agency for unwanted pets. The VHS receives no tax-based funding whatsoever. Therefore, it depends on the generosity of the corporate community and the public at large to continue, and hopefully expand, the much-needed services it offers.
