My story

How this pet arrived: Duchess was brought in by Humane Law Officer on July 6, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you: Meet Duchess! Duchess isn't the kind of dog to run up with tail wags and kisses-she's more of a "watch from a distance and decide if you're cool" type. She's wary of strangers, fearful of men, and not a fan of loud or busy households. What she does appreciate: calm people who respect her space and know how to read her body language. Her ideal home is quiet, predictable, and low-traffic. Older, respectful kids may be fine, but high-energy chaos is not her style. Duchess likes to make the first move-give her space and patience, and she'll reward you with her true self: a wiggly, affectionate companion who loves pets, long walks, and joyful zoomies. Before adoption, she'll want to meet everyone in the home for her personal approval. Bring a leash and collar-Duchess is ready to settle into her calm, loving home. Shy/Fearful Dog: Duchess requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about her. Primary Color: Brindle Secondary Color: White Weight: 79.2 Age: 6yrs 2mths 0wks

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Duchess, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
