About DutchessNY

Meet Dutchess. Her journey has been quite the adventure, starting as a stray before landing at BARC Houston, where a tail wound put her on the euthanasia list. Fortunately, fate intervened when her future foster mom—on a cruise ship—saw her story and decided to help. Since her rescue, Dutchess has transformed into a loving companion. She's a medium-coated German Shepherd who adores playtime but equally enjoys cozying up for snuggles. Her loyalty shines through, as she thrives on human connection. Dutchess does best as the only pet, as she's developed some reactivity toward other dogs. In exchange, she will offer endless love and devotion. Currently safe at Mustard Seed Farm Sanctuary in Magnolia, TX, she is ready to find her forever home. Could that home be with you?
