Duchess
German Shepherd Dog (medium coat) · Young (1 year 8 months) · Female · Large · New Orleans, LA
Notes from New Orleans German Shepherd Rescue
Here's Duchess — Found eating trash in the street, she'd landed in a small, hot, rural shelter. Now, thanks to some amazing volunteers, she is safely with our rescue. She is a young (between 1 and 2 years old) petite, 50-lb sweetheart looking for her forever family!
Don't let her smaller size fool you, she's got a big heart. Duchess is affectionate, snuggly, and just wants to be near her people (or curled up in your lap, if you'll let her). She's an absolute doll — her foster put it best: "She is a catch!"
A few things that make her extra special:
Loves other dogs — she settled right in with her GSD foster sister showing her the ropes
House trained and crate trained
Still working up her courage around squeaky toys unless she's the instigator (they're just a little alarming — give her time!)
Spayed and up to date on all vaccines
She is heartworm positive and has already started her treatment, fully covered by NOGSR and a generous benefactor, so cost will not be a barrier to giving her a home
Duchess deserves a forever home of her own. Could that be with you?
