My story

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

👑 Meet Princess! 👑

Princess is a truly sweet, gentle, and loving girl who is ready to find her forever home to enjoy her golden years. She bonds quickly with her person, but is also happy to soak up attention from anyone nearby—especially if it comes with snuggles or kisses.

🌞 Her favorite things:
Basking in the sun
Short, slow walks with plenty of sniff breaks
Cozy naps on a soft bed (or couch—with a little boost from you!)
Car rides, where she lays quietly in the back seat

Princess has some arthritis that slows her down, but she doesn’t let it keep her from enjoying life. She doesn’t pull on leash, responds when asked to wait, and even knows how to give paw for a treat. She’s also learning hand signals as her hearing isn’t what it used to be. With gentle guidance and lots of praise, she blossoms—she just wants to please and be loved.

She’s shown she can live peacefully with cats after a slow introduction, and while she’s gotten along with some dogs, she much prefers to be the only pup in the home so she can soak up all the affection without competition.
Princess would thrive in a calm, loving home where she can be the center of attention. She’s sensitive, affectionate, and absolutely adores human companionship. If you’re looking for a snuggle bug who will fill your days with love, Princess is your girl. 💕
