My name is Princess!

Meet Princess — a 6-month-old German Shorthaired Pointer with tippy-tappy toes, a wiggly tail, and a heart full of love! Weighing in at 34 pounds, this adorable spotted sweetheart is the perfect mix of goofy puppy energy and sweet, snuggly affection.

Princess was surrendered by her previous owner for being a little too curious about the family peacock (what can we say — she’s a bird dog at heart!). But she’s proven herself to be a friendly, social girl who loves people and gets along great with other dogs.

This sweet, food-motivated pup already knows how to sit and is eager to learn more with a bit of patience and consistency. She’s working on her jumping manners — she just gets so excited to see her favorite humans that she can’t help but bounce with joy! When she’s happy, her little feet do the cutest tippy-tappy dance, and she flashes the biggest smile that could brighten anyone’s day.

Princess has a naturally playful, curious, and active personality — the kind that thrives in a home where she can stretch her legs, play with other dogs, and go on adventures. Whether she’s romping around in the yard, practicing her obedience, or cuddling up after a fun day, this silly girl is always ready to share her love.

She may be a Princess, but she’s not high maintenance — just a sweet young pointer who needs a family willing to give her time, patience, and plenty of treats as she grows into the amazing dog she’s meant to be.

With her wagging tail, silly smile, and gentle spirit, Princess is ready to rule your heart and make every day feel a little brighter. 

Princess was rescued from a shelter in New Mexico.

We have no additional back story or update for this dog at this time.  When we do, it will be updated here.  This is all the information we have currently.

• Approved Applicants may make the adoption fee payment by clicking donate above.  Partial adoption fees will not hold a dog.


• If upon meeting the dog of your choosing at your scheduled pickup time you find that you aren't a good match, your deposit will be fully refunded.


• Adoption fees include vaccines up until time of adoption, microchip, spay/neuter and 1st 30 days of free pet insurance.  We are not affiliated with MetLife pet insurance. (you have to sign up for the insurance or it will not go into effect).  Adoption fees help cover the medical care of the animals while he or she waits for a new home, as well as food and transportation costs. These fees help to provide care for the other animals in the shelter or rescue group who may have medical bills that are much higher than any possible adoption fee. The money also acts as a donation to help support the organization as a whole, allowing the group to continue its efforts to rescue and rehome pets.


• The dogs in our care are fostered in Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico.  While all dogs are picked up during our scheduled times, sometimes transport dates change due to unforeseen circumstances.
