Meet Dutchess, a beautiful 5-year-old husky-chow mix with a gentle heart and an independent spirit. She’s the perfect blend of sweet and a little aloof—happy to be near her people, but also content doing her own thing. Dutchess is very smart, though she can have a bit of a stubborn streak, so she’ll thrive with an adopter who appreciates her independent nature and can provide consistent guidance. She does well with kids and has a calm, easygoing presence in the home. She’s both crate trained and housebroken, making her an easy addition to a structured household. She enjoys her routines and settles in nicely once she feels comfortable. Like many dogs with a strong prey drive, Dutchess loves to chase, so a home without cats is a must. She’s also quite the escape artist and has a true love for running and exploring. Because of this, she will require a home with a secure, tall privacy fence to keep her safe while she enjoys the outdoors. Because of her tendency to bolt, we’re looking for a home without very young or small children—just to ensure everyone stays safe and stress-free. Dutchess currently weighs about 40lbs., is approximately 5 years old (est. birth date 04/04/2021), and her adoption fee is $315. Dutchess has been spayed, is up to date on all vaccinations & preventatives, and is microchipped.
