About Duchess

Duchess is a lovely little companion who recently came into the care of our rescue because her previous owner could no longer keep her. This adorable dog has a mix of Chihuahua and Miniature Pinscher in her, and she's about 5 years old. While Duchess is new to us, staff members will be evaluating her behavior and engaging with her as they learn more about her personality. She’s altered and up to date on vaccinations, ensuring she's ready for a new home. Duchess is currently pending interactions with other animals here in the shelter, but our team is hopeful about her future friendships. It's essential for potential adopters to meet Duchess in person along with all household members, including kids and dogs, to ensure that everyone gets along. If it feels right, we encourage same-day adoptions so you can start your life together without delay.
