For inquiries email louise@compactcaninerescue.org Fee: $500 Location: Chesapeake, VA Princess arrived in our rescue on June 23rd with her housemate Paisley. We initially thought they were a bonded pair but as time went on, we realized they were not; so, we separated them. Since then, Paisley was adopted. We are still looking for the perfect home for sweet little Princess. Princess walks well on leash, is a good eater, loves treats, and is a great snuggler. Princess will do well in a quiet home, adult (or children over 10) home with someone who enjoys walking daily. A fenced yard would be a plus for this little girl to run and play . She likes other dogs with a calm demeanor. She had a "sleepover" while her foster mom was out of town and really enjoyed the company of her foster sibling for the week. Check out her photo with King Louie. They had a great time together. Princess is timid around men but is learning through her foster dad they are not scary anymore. She Watch our social media for more updates and photos of Princess. She is a doll and we really want to see her find the perfect home.
