About Dutchess

Meet Dutchess: From Stray to Sweetheart

Dutchess’ journey hasn’t been easy. She was found as a stray and brought to BARC Houston, where she quickly landed on the euthanasia list because of a tail wound. But fate stepped in—her future foster mom, touched by her story, reached out to save her life… all the way from a cruise ship!

Since then, Dutchess has blossomed into one of the sweetest girls you’ll ever meet. She loves playtime, but just as much, she adores curling up with her people for snuggles and affection. She’s deeply loyal and thrives on human companionship.

Because she’s developed some reactivity toward other dogs, Dutchess will do best as the only pet in the home. In return, she’ll give you her whole heart and endless love.

Dutchess is currently safe at Mustard Seed Farm Sanctuary in Texas—and she’s ready to travel to her forever family. Could that family be yours?
