Duchess 6136

Duchess is a sweet 5-year-old hound mix who was rescued in 2022. She's a wonderful blend of playful energy and calm companionship, and she's a joy to walk with her good leash manners. Duchess is a super smart cookie, highly motivated by treats and already knows some basic commands, making training with her a rewarding experience. While she may show some frustration-based barrier reactivity, this is common for dogs who have spent time in shelters and tends to lessen significantly in a stable, quiet home environment where she can feel secure. Duchess also prefers to enjoy her meals solo, and to ensure she feels safe, it's best to feed her separately.

Ideal Home

Duchess would thrive in a stable, quieter home environment. She would do best with older children who can respect her boundaries, and proper introductions are key for her to make new doggy friends. She's also well-suited for apartment or condo living.

Ongoing Health

Duchess is spayed, vaccinated, and has no known ongoing health conditions.

Training & Support

Duchess is highly food-motivated and responsive to treats, and already knows some basic commands. She may resource guard her food, so feeding her separately is recommended to help her feel comfortable and safe. Patience, consistency, and a loving environment will help her build trust and show her true personality.
