Dutchess is a 11-year-old Weimaraner in Chesterfield, VA, who needs $681 for Urgent Dental Treatment & Extraction.

Dutchess is an 11-year-old purebred Weimaraner that was surrendered to Beacon of Hope Dog Rescue by a man who had her for about 1.5 years after his father passed away. She was neglectfully kept in a garage with little human interaction and was undernourished on intake at the rescue, weighing in at only 50 lbs.

Currently, Dutchess is in foster care with a family in the Chesterfield, Virginia, area. Her foster parents are spoiling Dutchess constantly. They provide her with lots of love, toys, exercise, and much-needed medical care. She is a gentle girl who, now that she's in the right environment, is acting and feeling better every day.

Dutchess loves to take long, quiet leashed walks around the neighborhood or on wooded trails. She enjoys spending time outdoors and meeting new friends along the way. She pays no attention to the cats in her foster home and gets along great with dogs. At the end of a long day, she curls up on the couch with her favorite humans, where she eagerly anticipates back scratches and cuddles.

She is underweight, with skin issues, a UTI, ear infections in both ears, and dental problems that will require care as soon as possible. A full blood panel performed by her veterinarian came back with no additional concerns. Her foster family is carefully monitoring her diet so that she can put on weight. They are also faithfully administering medication to treat her UTI and skin condition.

In 2022, Beacon of Hope encountered numerous unexpected expenses: a litter of 8 puppies; surgeries for a broken leg and bladder stone removal; dental extractions; and numerous treatments for heartworms, intestinal worms, UTI's, and ear infections. We need funding.
