From “Ugly” to Unconditional Love: The Heartwarming Adoption Story of Dutchess the Dog

Dutchess came to the Orange County Animal Services in Orlando at the end of 2022 because of a landlord issue, Fox 35 Orlando reported. The poor pop had trouble finding a home because of a facial deformity under her eyes. The deformity caused small bumps on the bottom of her eyelids.

“Sometimes the hardest thing for us to see is one of our dogs get ignored. We see their faces every day, and we do what we can to keep their spirits up. But we know sitting in a kennel, day after day, and watching people walk by on the other side of those bars has to take its toll. It is especially hard when no one even stops to look at you. When you have to watch other dogs get pulled, get taken out, get taken home,” the shelter wrote on Facebook.
