My personality

My story

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

It's been a LONG, EXPENSIVE road to get Princess ready for adoption but she is sooo worth it! GET OUT THE TISSUES AND READ ON!

We get intake requests that we cannot help every day but this girl hit us hard! Princess recently lost both of her elderly owners. At a time that must have been already so stressful to her, the family took her to a crowded, rural, overwhelmed shelter where she was terrifed and looked down the road expecting someone to come back for her.

When staff noticed a mass on her back leg and blood in her urine, they knew the chances of her making it out alive were slim. They told us that animals at this shelter don't go to the vet for medical care; they go for euthanasia. So many shelters are overwhelmed right now and even healthy dogs are being euthanized for space.
I don't know why Princess' story hit me so hard but I just started crying. It's just something about the older dogs who lose their families that breaks my heart. Thank goodness for our foster families! One of our best offered to save Princess without hesitation!

Princess was treated for a terrible urinary tract infection and had surgery to remove the mass. Unfortunately, the surgery site did not heal well because of it's location. Princess had to go back to the vet many times to get it resutured and spent weeks in a cone! Worst of all, the mass was mast cell cancer and not all of it was able to be removed.


Princess is a kind dog who is a little nervous at times and loves the security of her crate. She is great with all of the dogs in her foster home and still has so much love to give. Princess is around 7-8 years old and weighs bout 30 pounds. She takes a benedryl daily to help control the growth of mast cells. More tumors may develop and there is no way to know what her lifespan may be but it's possible that she will live for several more years. Let's find a family who will truly treasure this precious girl!

A reduced adoption fee of $100 does apply for Princess, our seniors, special medical and behavioral needs dogs and other "slow to adopt" dogs!
