Meet Duchess, the stunning 18-month-old Dutch shepherd/Malinois mix who’s ready to steal your heart! 🌟 This beauty is youthful and athletic, but what truly sets her apart is her adorable tendency to snuggle up and envelop you in warmth. Imagine coming home after a long day and finding a delightful bundle of love waiting for you on the couch! 🛋️💕 Duchess is having a sweet awakening in her foster home, discovering the joys of life as a dog. She’s a late bloomer—just beginning her journey with basic obedience, enjoying the thrill of tracking scents, and realizing that being a dog is just about the best gig ever! Although she may be a tad timid around new folks, once her trust is earned, she flourishes into a fun-loving companion. 🐾 Let’s talk about her social side! Duchess enjoys the company of dogs, especially when introduced properly, though she’s a bit choosy with her small canine friends. Sorry, cat lovers! This energetic gal might be tempted to pounce and play a little too assertively with feline friends. Now, here’s what’s important: Duchess needs an experienced and active owner who can guide her in building confidence that sparkles like her gorgeous coat! 🎾 Whether it's running, hiking, or just enjoying long walks, this girl is ready to be your adventure buddy. She’s highly motivated by toys and treats—what a smart cookie! 🍪 Duchess will thrive best in a female-only household or a couple where there are older teens or no children. This sweet soul has already made great strides since joining our rescue, and her ideal forever home will be one that continues to nurture her growth and potential. Could you be the special someone she’s been waiting for? 🤗 To bring Duchess home, please apply through the Buddy App. This lovely girl is currently waiting for a forever home, and your heart might be just what she needs! ❤️
