Meet Duchess

Our gorgeous Duchess joined us with the rest of her canine family from our “Missouri 11” pack, each taken into rescue after their lifelong owner passed away.

Like most of her former packmates, Duchess didn’t have much life experience as a companion animal in a family home environment.

Lucky for Duchess, she snagged a fantastic foster home with her former packmate (and now adopted) Kaiser -- these two were ecstatic to see each other upon her arrival! Since then, the big guy has been doing a great job of showing his foster sister the ropes of how to be a house dog.

Sweet but shy, Duchess can be easy to startle and initially worried about new people and experiences. She will slink out of reach to study you until she’s positive you’re an okay kinda gal or guy. But once she’s had time to warm up to you, have those treats ready. She’s a sweetheart who loves her food and takes treats gently!

Duchess would love a quieter home with an experienced family who can continue to help her confidence bloom. We think she will do best with a calm, confident male dog buddy as a companion. Cats are currently unknown, but she’s been gentle and kind with her foster family’s school-aged kids.

Duchess arrived in rescue intact, but will be spayed prior to adoption.

If you think our regal Duchess might be the perfect fit for YOUR family, please apply to adopt!
