Meet Duchess 👑 Duchess is an approximately 12-year-old senior sweetheart who was rescued as part of the “Florence 10” neglect case out of Alabama. Despite everything she has been through, Duchess remains incredibly sweet, gentle, and loving. She gets along well with other dogs and absolutely LOVES car rides. In fact, one of her favorite things is tagging along with her foster mom wherever she goes. Duchess even goes to work with her foster mom and enjoys being close to her people. Because of this, she would do best in a home where someone is home more often than not. Duchess is not a super mobile dog. She can walk around on her own, but she is not a dog that will be going on long walks or hikes. Due to years of neglect before coming into rescue, her nails had grown underneath her feet, which affected the way she walks. She gets around just fine for her needs, but she does walk a little differently because of the damage that was done. Duchess does well with pottying when kept on a consistent schedule and taken outside every couple of hours. However, if she is not kept on that schedule, she will have accidents in the house. She also wears a diaper overnight and during car rides. This sweet senior has already been through extensive veterinary care. She is spayed, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and up to date on flea/tick and heartworm prevention. She had extensive dental work, including fistula repairs, and no longer has any teeth. Duchess does have mammary masses that veterinarians do not currently believe are cancerous. Chest and abdominal x-rays showed no signs of cancer spread, and because of her age and overall condition, it was determined that surgery would be harder on her than leaving them alone. At this time, they are not causing her discomfort, and she continues to enjoy life. Duchess is looking for a compassionate adopter who understands that senior dogs deserve love, comfort, and stability too. She may not be perfect, but she is absolutely deserving of a soft place to land for the rest of her life. ❤️ Duchess is available for adoption through Chance of a Lifetime Dachshund Rescue. Adoption fee: $150 Please fill out an application at Coaldr.org if you would like to make Duchess part of your family
