Big Mama

Duchess, aka "Big Mama" was being fostered by Mike and Joyce and has wedged her way into their hearts. She has come a long way since that first day back in early December! Over the past months her sweet personality has come thru. She is always wagging her tail and grown quite attached to Joyce, and her favorite pup is Hank! (although not sure if Hank knows this) The cats adore her too, rubbing up against her and sleeping by her side. Welcome to PWD. We all know Mike and Joyce are happy to be able to help another white German shepherd in honor of their founding pup Duke!

Big Mama is a two year old, blind, white German Shepherd. She was born blind and has lived her entire life in an isolated, filthy, chain link kennel in California, along with 40 other dogs that were rescued. It was heart breaking to find out Duchess had been left behind, due to her disability, while so many of the other dogs were on their way to a better life. PWD was contacted and raised the funds to fly her from California to Maryland.

She is now adjusting slowly to a more controlled home environment. She is doing great and making daily progress. We think she did pretty much anything she wanted to for the past 2 years, so this has been quite a change for her. She is enjoying all her new canine and feline friends but is a bit unsure of humans. We will give her the time she needs to learn that humans are part of her world now.
