Meet DutchessNY: From Stray to Sweetheart. Dutchess has faced challenges, starting her life as a stray. She ended up at BARC Houston, where a tail injury almost cost her life. Fortunately, her future foster mom, who was on a cruise ship, couldn’t ignore Dutchess’s plight and stepped in to save her. Since her rescue, Dutchess has transformed into one of the most affectionate dogs you'll ever meet. She enjoys playtime but equally loves snuggling with her humans. Her loyalty is unwavering, and she truly shines with human companionship. Dutchess prefers to be the only pet, as she has developed some reactivity towards other dogs. In return for her devotion, she offers endless love and joy. Currently at Mustard Seed Farm Sanctuary in Magnolia, TX, Dutchess is eager to find her forever family. Could that be you?
