My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Since I'm a long stay pup, my adoption fee has been reduced! Visit me today to find out my favorite treats and how you can take me home!

**Meet Prince Charming!**
Prince Charming was surrendered to ACC when his owner moved into an apartment that doesn't allow pets. With a name like his, it's no surprise this five-year-old brindle boy has a lot of heart-and a lot of energy. Loyal, sensitive, and super smart, Prince Charming is hoping to find a family who will help him channel his enthusiasm and give him the structure and love he craves.

---

**My ideal home:**
Prince Charming is looking for an experienced adult-only home where he can thrive in a calm, structured environment. He'll do best with someone who understands working with high-energy dogs and is committed to positive reinforcement training. A home with a yard to stretch his legs-or a person who enjoys long walks and enrichment games-would be ideal.

**Good with kids?**
No. While he lived with young children in his previous home, due to his resource guarding, anxiety, and impulsive behavior, we recommend a home without children under 13.

**Good with other pets?**
Prince Charming lived peacefully with a cat and was described as friendly and playful with familiar dogs. At the shelter, he's shown some nervousness and overexcitement around unfamiliar dogs. If joining a home with another dog, structured introductions and slow acclimation are a must.

**Leash manners:**
This boy has a lot of energy on leash! He pulls and may lunge at small animals, but he's been making progress with decompression walks and reward-based training like "up/down" games, polite exchanges, and focus work. A front-clip harness and patience will go a long way.

**Overall health:**
Prince Charming is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. He had a bout of kennel cough and some GI issues early on but has since recovered. He's currently a healthy 59-pound pup with a great appetite.

**Behavior determination:**
**Level 3** - Prince Charming is a bright, active dog who struggles with anxiety, low impulse control, and resource guarding. He's responded well to positive reinforcement techniques in the shelter and is ready for a savvy adopter who can continue building on that foundation.

**Fun facts about me:**

* I love car rides and am crate trained for up to 8 hours
* My previous family said I'm outgoing and playful
* I enjoy toys, treats, and enrichment games-just be ready for a high jump or two!
* I know how to sit, use wee-wee pads, and settle when given the right support
* My adoption fee has been **sponsored**, thanks to generous supporters!

**Ready to bring some royal energy into your life?** Prince Charming is full of love and potential-he just needs a family who can match his spirit and support his journey. If you're ready to meet your energetic new best friend, come see Prince today!
