Duchess is a sweet and gentle girl eager to find her forever home. Initially shy, she warms up quickly and loves being held and showered with affection. Being smaller and more delicate than her siblings, she sometimes gets a bit of bullying, so her new family will need to support her in building confidence and exploring her playful side. Duchess is likely to thrive in a calm, loving environment with a small family where she can truly feel at ease and continue to blossom. If you're looking for a loving companion who just needs a little patience and encouragement, Duchess is the perfect fit! She's currently thriving in a foster home, and while you can't visit her there yet, you can pre-adopt her by placing a $50 choice hold, which allows you first opportunity to adopt when she's ready. To place a choice hold, either visit the shelter or call them at 719-302-8707. Just note that only one choice hold can be placed per animal, and they get offered on a first-come, first-serve basis. Your health and happiness together matter, and it's best for Duchess that visits are kept to a minimum while she's in foster care.
