Duchess: More Quills

When Duchess first arrived at Red Lake Rosie's Rescue, she was very thin and had an infected foot. The infection was caused by porcupine quills in her foot that she had tried to chew off.

She went to Dr. Vicki of ACT V Rescue & Rehabilitation who had to do two more surgeries to amputate more of the foot to clean up the infection.

Duchess went to Pet Haven in foster care to recover and remained there for a year and a half with foster caregivers who loved her very much.

She is in a forever home now with a mom and a grandma who have worked through all of her quirks and learned to live with a few.

UPDATE FROM NEW HOME:
Duchess's new name is Georgia and she has a favorite spot by Minnehaha Creek. She lays there and watches the water go by for a long time every day. She seems so peaceful there. 

Her mom says, "Sometimes I wonder about her past on the reservation and what she took solace in. Maybe flowing water was one thing that was good in her life."

LOOKS TO ME LIKE SHE ALSO ENJOYS A SOFT BED AND A WARM FIRE :-)
