Meet Duchess! (38kg)  Duchess is a sweet, friendly and energetic girl who is looking for an active home where she can continue to learn, have fun and enjoy life to the fullest.  This gorgeous girl is very giddy, playful and full of energy.  She absolutely loves attention and can get so excited that she forgets just how strong she is!  Duchess does jump up for fuss and affection, and can be a little mouthy when excited, so her new adopter will need to continue working on her manners and basic training.  When she’s not busy demanding attention, Duchess loves playing chase with her ball and enjoys tearing around our compound doing her Zoomies.  She also thinks hose pipes are great fun and will happily chase the water while staff are cleaning her kennel.  Duchess is definitely a character and has plenty of personality.  She is also something of an escape artist and will often try her luck getting out as staff are leaving her kennel, so her new home will need to be secure and her family will need to be one step ahead of her.  She is very strong on the lead and will need someone physically capable of managing her strength while continuing her lead training.  Duchess would benefit enormously from someone willing to put time and consistency into her basic training, helping her learn that she doesn’t always need to be quite so enthusiastic about everything.  Duchess is looking for an active home with people who are prepared for a strong, energetic and sometimes excitable young lady.  her new family will need to continue her training, work on her jumping up, mouthiness and help her develop good lead manners.  She has so much love, fun and personality to give.  Duchess will need a private secure garden.

Duchess has socialised well with other dogs whilst in our care and is very playful, so we feel she could potentially be rehomed with another dog of similar size following a successful meet and greet. (must be neutered).

No cats for Duchess.

As Duchess came into the home as a stray, we have no previous history on her so would prefer any children/visiting children in the home to be 16+ years.

If you have a holiday booked in the next 3 months, please wait until you return to apply for a dog.

*Applications that are successful will be provided with further information on each dog to the best of the charity’s knowledge.
