Duchess's Story

Duchess was in a small, high-kill shelter when we came across her information. Her eyes were so infected that she could not open them, and the shelter had posted her as being blind. Our vet discovered that Duchess doesn&#39;t produce tears, and the chronic dry eye had been untreated for so long that her corneas were damaged and infected.<br/><br/>This sweet girl was initially so shut down that she had to remind herself what a special dog she is. We are trying our best to save her eyes; she gets two types of medicated drops twice a day and artificial tears as often as possible. She has learned to let her foster clean her eyes and is good about getting her drops. She is now able to see, although not as well as we hope she will as we progress. She will need eye drops ongoing. <br/><br/>Duchess now plays with the other dogs in her foster home and enjoys running around her yard. Her very favorite thing is getting attention and spending time with her humans. She wants to devote herself entirely to her family and take care of them. This girl is a wonderful Doberman and an ambassador for the breed.<br/><br/>She is house trained, can use a doggie door, or ask to go outside if she doesn&#39;t have one. She is fine being left home alone or with her canine friends, but would rather go wherever her human is going. She&#39;s great at going for rides and would be the perfect travel companion. <br/><br/>Duchess is fully vetted, current with vaccines, spayed, on flea and tick prevention, heartworm prevention, and is microchipped.

Hillcrest Animal Rescue, Inc.'s Adoption Policy
Consider adopting one of our wonderful animals!! We try to keep our kids’ photos and bios updated, but there’s not always enough time in the day! If you’re looking for a specific breed or personality, send us an e-mail, and we’ll be happy to let you know if we have someone that would be a fit with your family! We have a few requirements: We only adopt to people seeking a friend/companion animal. Current or previous pet owners should have good vet references. Current companion animals must be spayed or neutered if they are of age unless there is a medical reason for not having done so. We require that you complete an application for adoption. This helps us determine who might be a good match for your environment and that you meet our adoption requirements. We look at each application based on the needs and requirements of the animal in question. Once your application is approved, we will schedule a time for you to meet the animal(s) of interest. We ask that all members of your family be present for this meeting. We stay in touch with all of our adopters to be sure that you, your family and new friend are all doing well and are happy together. You are always welcome to contact us. If, at any time, you cannot keep an animal you adopt from us, we require that you return the animal to us. Our adoption fees vary. We use 100% of the adoption fees to offset our rescue expenses. We also appreciate and use 100% of all other gifts to take care of our rescued animals.
