Meet Dutchess!
If you are looking for a sweet and friendly dog who loves being with her people, then three-year-old Dutchess is the dog for you. She loves her walks, going for car rides and playing with her toys. We’ve had her around some other dogs, and she seems to be good with them and acted like she wanted to play.
Dutchess’ owners probably should never have gotten a dog. They never gave her much training or exercise and her skin and fur were obviously neglected. They had no idea how to care for any dog, let alone a young German Shepherd, and told us they were going to have her euthanized. We knew we had to help her!
The good news is, now that she has been getting proper medical care and good quality food, her fur looks great. She does need her obedience training worked on and due to lack of socialization and exposure in her original home she can be a little unsure at times. We would like to find her a family/home that will take her on lots of adventures to gradually build up her confidence.
Dutchess is a special girl. We can promise you if you meet her you will fall in love with her.
