About Duchess

Meet Duchess, a three-year-old German Shepherd around 65 pounds. She leans toward a calm energy and feels just as content strolling the neighborhood as she does lounging by your side. Duchess is happy to go for outings if you’re feeling adventurous, but she’s just as pleased keeping it mellow at home. This is a genuinely sweet, friendly girl who greets everyone with a happy demeanor. Duchess has gotten along well with other dogs—big or small—and would welcome a canine companion. She hasn’t been tested with cats, so she’s not available to homes with felines. Duchess is both house trained and crate trained, plus walks well on a leash. She’s no chronic barker, making her an easy fit for most households. Recently rescued when her family could no longer keep her, she’s landed safely in foster and is now hoping for a permanent home. She’s spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped with lifetime registration. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
