Meet Duchess, a sweet and charming 10-year-old lady who’s ready for her second chance at love. Weighing in at a perfect 40 pounds, Duchess may be a bit of a senior, but she’s got plenty of love left to give.

Surrendered by her previous owner, who could no longer care for her, Duchess is settling into the joys of indoor living—cozy blankets, squeaky toys, and plenty of TLC are now part of her daily routine. Her favorite time of day is when she curls up with a comfy blanket, just relaxing and enjoying the simple pleasures of life.

Duchess might not have the flashiest coat, but her endearing crooked smile and adorable mismatched ears make her a beauty all her own. She has a gentle and sweet nature, and despite her age, she still has plenty of energy and affection to share.

Duchess is a calm, laid-back lady who enjoys a peaceful environment. She’s also great with other laid-back dogs, as long as they’re respectful of her space. While she’s looking for a relaxed companion to share her days with, she’s not the best match for homes with cats.

Duchess is the perfect companion for anyone looking for a mature, loving dog who will appreciate the quiet moments and share plenty of cuddles. She’s also ready for fun when the mood strikes—whether it’s a walk in the yard or a game with her squeaky toys, Duchess is always ready for some lighthearted playtime.

With the holidays just around the corner, Duchess is hoping to find a forever home where she can feel safe and loved. She’s ready to spend her golden years surrounded by warmth, affection, and the comfort of a family who will cherish her.

Duchess is available for same-day adoption at the Habersham County Animal Shelter, and is ready to steal your heart, so don’t wait! Come meet this sweet girl and make her part of your family this holiday season!
