About Dutchess

Meet Dutchess. Her breeds are a guess, but she’s a mix of American Staffordshire Terrier and American Bully. Once cherished by her original family, circumstances forced her into foster care due to housing restrictions. Dutchess can be a bit shy at first; she tends to back up and bark until you approach her with a treat. Then, instant friends! Though she might not have had much socialization as a puppy, she's currently learning to embrace new experiences, so patience is key. Dutchess has not yet interacted with many other dogs. She's eligible for adoption after her spay appointment, which is already scheduled. If you're interested in possibly meeting her, please visit our website at www.k9adopt.org to fill out an application. Remember, each line must be answered; use NA if something doesn’t apply to you. Thank you!
