Duchess

Duchess

Duchess and her cocker buddy, Duke, lived alone in a shed for over 3 years with no vet or grooming care and almost no human companionship.  When we rescued them in May 2007, they were in deplorable condition--filthy, covered with ticks and could barely stand due to the tangle of fur and mats all over their body.  But despite this misery, those dogs never lost their friendly temperments and their stumpy tails have wagged non-stop ever since.  For several months, we thought they needed to be placed together, however, as they received lots of human attention, it became apparent that they were no longer as dependent upon each other and in November, Duke was placed in his new home.  Duchess is hoping that she, too, can find a forever home. Her foster Mom describes her as sweet and cuddly and totally housebroken.  She is 9 years old and in excellent health.  Despite the three years of complete neglect, our vet says that her eyes, ears, teeth and skin are healthy and her complete blood profile was "perfect".  The three years of isolation with only Duke for companionship have left her weary of other dogs, especially at feeding time.  This beautiful, solid black girl desperately wants to be the only dog with people of her very own who want  a happy cocker who just loves to cuddle.
