A Pet that Quacks

Tempy is up for adoption at Dedham's Animal Rescue League of Boston shelter.

Tempy, a brown muscovy duck, is available for adoption at the in Dedham.

We are unsure of her age since she was found as a stray. She currently lives in a stall with a male duck, female duck, rooster and various small birds.

She gets along well with everyone and is sweet and as friendly as ducks get. Tempy would be great to add to any duck family and would do well living with chickens too.

Ducks need proper shelter and a swimming pond. Please check with your town ordinances to make sure that ducks can be kept in your town. Not all towns allow them and have restrictions.  

If you would like more information on Tempy please call the shelter or come and visit with her.
