Hi, I’m Duchess—and I have a story to tell. Not long ago, I was just another overlooked soul in an overcrowded shelter, so worn down that I stopped eating, wagging, and hoping. But then a kind woman saw me, truly saw me, and gave me the chance to remember who I really am: a joyful, loyal, snack-begging queen with so much love to give. Now I’m flourishing in foster care—my coat shines, my tail wags, and I’m dreaming of one last chapter: finding you.

Why I’m the Ultimate Comeback Queen 👑
🐾 About 4–5 years old, with a perfect blend of mystery, beauty, and charm
🐾 A true people-lover who adores cuddling and companionship
🐾 Gets along well with dogs big and small—especially my tiny Chihuahua bestie
🐾 Likely cat-friendly, based on my sweet nature and doggy friendships
🐾 Crate trained but trustworthy free-range (I know how to behave like royalty!)
🐾 Can sit politely, give paw, and tilt my head in a way that gets you to share snacks 🥹
🐾 Energetic and active—would love a fenced yard to zoom around in
🐾 Resilient, affectionate, and full of paw-sitivity

What I’m Looking For
✔️ A loving home where I’m treated like family (or royalty—same thing!)
✔️ A fenced-in yard for playtime and zoomies
✔️ People who appreciate cuddles and silly antics
✔️ A forever family who values second chances and soulful companions

I’ve survived the worst and bloomed into something beautiful. My heart is full of gratitude and love—I just need someone to share it with. If you believe in second chances and fairy tale endings, I’m right here, waiting to make your life fuller, brighter, and more snuggly.
👑 Will you be my forever?
