Duchess has been returned after 6 mos. Her current adopter became ill and returned her to the shelter. We picked her up today 10/24 and she will decompress with us . She is a shy gal, rightly so at this time. we will see how she does and hopefully she will gain some confidence . Duchess needs a family that will keep her forever . We all know circumstances change, but for this shy girl to lose someone she knows twice is a bit overwhelming. Unless you are committed to her, please do not apply. If you cannot handle a shy gal, and give her the time and patience she needs to acclimate, please do not apply. Cute is cute, but she needs an understanding loving patient person to help her out. below is her original posting. Duchess is a 8 yr old long hair chi. She came to rescue because her owner passed away. She is very shy and needs some time to acclimate to new surroundings. She is hw negative, vacs are up to date and she is spayed and chipped. At the time of her spay, a mammary tumor was completely removed. Since she has been in rescue, this shy girl is slowly coming around. She always has a wag of the tail for you, and enjoys small amounts of petting. Can be a rather independent girl, likes her quiet corner. She does shy away from hands coming too fast at her, but once you are petting her, she does love belly rubs. Crate trained, housebroken and we are working on leash skills. She will need a quiet home, a very patient person who will allow her to bloom at her own pace. I would recommend a fenced yard and definitely another dog in the home. Retired would be great. Fostered in Bradenton.
