History: I was a stray mama living on the streets of Memphis with my babies. We were brought off the streets by these amazing people. I hung out there for a little bit before coming to NE. I went to a training facility so I could work on my manners of pulling and jumping. Then one day this lady came and picked me up and I have been living with her, her husband and her 11 year old son.
Personality traits: I am a loving goofball who never met a belly rub I didn’t like. I am the best cuddler but I also have a playful side and can act like a puppy.
Likes: Naps on my favorite humans lap, my hedgehog toys, zoomies, and visiting pet stores so I can pick out my favorite treats (which is everything), and lastly I love cleaning up the peanut butter off the spatula after my foster dad makes his lunch.
Dislikes: I am not a fan of being left home alone but I am working on that. I was on my own for so long and just love being with people.
Quirks: I have a bit of separation anxiety that I briefly mentioned above. I need a patient owner to help me be comfortable by myself. Oh yeah, I like to mouth play with my foster moms arm. She doesn't find that fun so she gives me a toy so I can play with that instead.
Housetrained/Crate Trained: “Inside” is still new to me. I will go potty outside when given the opportunity, but I never had to ask to go outside before, so I need help developing that ability. My foster mom is teaching me to ring a bell to go out and I rarely have an accident. I don't mess in my crate. Crates are not my favorite. I'm OK when someone is home but when my people leave I get upset.
Training: I am currently working on a few things. I am very strong and may pull here and there during my walk. I am walked on an easy walk harness which helps a lot. My foster mom will stop walking until I ease up. I also like to jump but I am sooo much better at controlling myself. Sometimes I can't help it, I just like being loved up. I am learning that I need to sit to get some loving rather than jumping. I know how to sit and I am learning how to lay down. I am very smart and pick things up quickly.
Other dogs - Are a definite yes BUT I play rough and need an occasional time out. I get a bit worked up and I have a hard time calming down. I would also be great on my own - someone active would be amazing as I am a strong girl and won’t be happy crated all the time. I am a great ambassador for my breed.
If you have another dog in your home, pittie experience would be a must - as mentioned, I can play until the day is over but will need someone to recognize when it’s time to stop.
Children: Due to me being strong and my exuberance, I would do best in a home with older, dog savvy children or a home with adults only. I could easily inadvertently topple over smaller kids.
Health history: I am up to date on all vaccinations, and I am healthy. I am spayed and microchipped too.
Name: Princessa Breed: Pit Bull Terrier Sex: Female Age: 2 - 3 years (estimated) Weight: 60 Spayed/Neutered: Yes Vaccinations: Up to date Heartworm: Negative at last testing Microchipped: Yes

More about this rescue
PAWS is comprised of a small group of volunteers from New England and Tennessee trying to reduce the euthanization rate (previously 90%) at the Tipton County Animal Control shelter in Brighton, Tennessee. This shelter is forced to euthanize thousands of animals each year due to irresponsible pet owners that do not spay/ neuter their dogs in the area. Millions of dogs in America are euthanized each year due to lack of space and lack of funding to try and find them better homes.
Our mission is to save as many animals as possible, removing them from the shelter, having their veterinary needs met prior to traveling and then finding them loving homes throughout New England. We do this only with the assistance of many people volunteering their time by going to the shelter, transporting the dogs to the vet, fostering dogs who need special care, and arranging for their new and happy homes in this area. Most importantly, we cannot do any of this without those people willing to open their homes and hearts to these lovely creatures.
