My story

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

Duchess is a very special little girl who needs that special person to love her. She was adopted three years ago to a lady that loved her dearly and took very good care of her. Duchess came back to us resently when the owner could no longer care for her due to physical ailments.
Duchess can see slightly and she is deaf. She is looking for that special person to hold her and continue to give her the love she desires. She is very quiet and will seek out a comfy doggie bed, but would rather be on your lap or laying next to you. Even with her impaired vision she gets along fine when navigating through the house.
Duchess resently had her annual exam and she received a "Gold Star". She received a 3 -year Rabies vacination that is not due again until February 2029. Her blood work looked good as well . Dispite her impairments, her overall health is good.
Duchess needs a home where her person is home most of the time and will love her unconditionally.
