Meet Duchess – a 2.5-year-old beauty with brains, heart, and charm. Duchess is a miss of German Shepherd, Dutch Shepherd and Cattle Dog. Well-trained and housebroken, Duchess is an affectionate girl who listens well and loves being part of the action. She can be just a sliver shy when first meeting new people, but once she warms up—it’s game on! Her playful, loving side shines through, and she quickly becomes your loyal sidekick.

Duchess adores people and thrives on connection. She is also good with children. She has a huge play drive and is always ready for action—fetch, tug, or any kind of adventure. Duchess is a smart, high-energy girl eager to engage and would be happiest in an active home where she can put both her body and brain to work. She does best with male dogs and would thrive in a home that values both companionship and good manners.

If you're looking for a fun, loyal, and athletic companion, Duchess might just be your perfect match.

The minimum adoption donation ranges from $300 to $400. This amount only partially covers the cost of veterinary care, boarding fees, and other miscellaneous expenses involved in the temporary care and adoption of our dogs and is 100% tax deductible.

Prior to placement, all dogs will be spayed or neutered, receive current vaccinations, and are usually microchipped. If not, arrangements will be made on an individual basis. Special consideration may be given to those willing to adopt older dogs or dogs with physical problems.

Our adoption process begins with completing an application on-line. A phone screening will soon follow, and lastly a home visit will be conducted by our volunteers.

We show our dogs at adoption events every weekend! Check our our website to see where we'll be next!
