My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Duchess was born March 12, 2025 in Hampton. My roommate ended up not fixing either of his dogs, so there was a litter of nine I ended up taking care of; then my husband and I ended up keeping two. We’re first time puppy owners, and I’m the primary caretaker, but I have pretty intense back problems. Duchess is very rambunctious and highly food-motivated; she’s also very sweet and loves to snuggle. She is crate-trained, and knows a few basic commands, as well as a few others such as “gentle” and “off.” She plays pretty rough with her brother, but has shown to be respectful of other dogs’ boundaries when playing with them. My husband and I aren’t in a position to take care of two very energetic puppies. We didn’t do our research beforehand, and we definitely bit off more than we can chew.
