Dutchess is a powerhouse when it comes to affection—she does everything with her whole heart. She gets deeply attached to her people and, given her strength and enthusiasm, really needs experienced and patient dog owners. You’ll need to be prepared to handle her intensity, but she will pay you back with an endless supply of love. Dutchess has simple joys: chewing her favorite bones, relaxing in the sun, back rubs, and enjoying the occasional snack. Having survived on her own and in rough shape before being rescued in 2018, Dutchess is now settled into her adult years, around 7 or 8. She would do best in a home where she can be the only dog and where there are no small children. Her resilience and loyalty stand out, and she is past due for a home that matches her devotion.
