Dutchess II - ABR Return's Story

3/14/2026<br/><br/>Dutchess II is an ABR return looking for a new home.<br/><br/>Hi! My name is Dutchess II! I am a beautiful 6 year old fawn girl that is an owner surrender after being adopted several years ago from ABR and my owners returning me due to a change in lifestyle and working longer hours. I am described as shy, active, protective, noisy, playful, affectionate, and nervous! I will completely ignore dogs like they don't exist unless they're coming inside my home. I have had exposure to my owner's mom's boxer and I got along well with her. I have never lived with a cat so it is uncertain if I am feline friendly. There is an 11 month old human kid in the home but I am only allowed around her when the humans are holding or with her due to me being hyper and trying to play too rough with her so a proper introduction to kids would be necessary. I do not like people that randomly pet me or get too close to me and prefer to go to them first. I am house trained, crate trained, know basic commands, and at night I sleep on my bed outside the bedroom. I eat Stella, Chewy's, and Farmers Dog after being obese and discolored fur and all has since corrected with proper diet. If the humans must be away and I am left alone, I have high anxiety and will get very depressed, nervous, and whine. I am fearful of being outside and going for walks. I will pull to get back to the house as fast as possible. I don't like dry dog food, typical dog treats, or loud noises, specifically trucks. It is suspected that in a previous home I was left outside and is why I'm scared of going outside and being left there. When outside I have good behavior and do not dig or attempt to jump fences/gates. Some of my favorite things are riding in the car, anything to play tug of war with the humans, belly rubs, attention, mangos, steak, snuggling, slamming my body against the humans, swimming in pools, and loving my humans endlessly once I trust them! If you think I would make a great addition to your home, contact the rescue today and give them my name because I am waiting to meet you!
