Duchess survived on her own at a campground for more than a year before her rescue.
Duchess was reportedly dumped in a campground. For more than a year she refused to let people get close, but hovered in the distance hoping for some morsels of food. Finally, Duchess befriended a very gentle elderly man and let herself be captured. This man had her a short time before bringing her to us, teaching her housetraining and beginning her other adjustments to indoor living. Duchess needs to continue blooming. She is still very independent, strong-willed, and intolerant of people making her do anything she doesn't want to do. Duchess is a beautiful Akita & Shepherd mix, 2-3 years of age, now spayed and debuting for adoption at Nevada SPCA. She cannot be around small animals. Please help us find Duchess her lifelong hero.
