Dutchess - Black Labrador Retriever and Hound Dog for Adoption in Greensboro, North Carolina

Dutchess is a 3-year-old, 57 lb girl who is looking for a home after being found wandering as a stray and taken in by a good samaritan who could no longer care for her.

She's a shelter dog who makes everything feel a little calmer. Dutchess is patient, gentle and easy to handle, following your lead quietly on. She has a mellow personality and is perfectly happy entertaining herself with a toy or rolling around in the grass, but she's especially happy when someone is giving her belly rubs and attention.

Dutchess is incredibly gentle when taking treats and loves being spoken to. She also seems to be house trained and has shown that she's pretty unbothered by the other animals around her. She doesn't react to the dogs in the kennels around her and wasn't bothered at all when she saw three cats hanging out in our lobby.

Dutchess appears to have had multiple litters in the past, and now she deserves a chance to simply be a dog and enjoy some peace and consistency of her own. She's ready for a home or foster where she can relax, get plenty of affection and be someone's easygoing companion.

As always, we strongly recommend that resident dogs meet any new potential canine family members. If bringing a resident dog for a dog to dog test, please bring proof of Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella vaccines.

To meet/adopt, visit us in Greensboro, NC from 12-4pm any day except Tuesdays; no appointment needed.
