Princess (A118090) is an 11-year-old husky who weighed over 50 lbs at intake!
12/13/25 This sweet older gal is Princess! Despite her age, she remains a curious, playful, and incredibly sweet girl, although she can be a little timid. Princess thrives in a calm, stable environment where she feels safe and loved. She enjoys leisurely walks on a leash and loves car rides, making her a great companion for someone who appreciates gentle outdoor activities and quiet moments together. Princess is a truly special dog who will reward her family with loyalty, affection, and companionship. She is looking for someone who will appreciate her gentle soul and give her the loving retirement she deserves. Princess was said to get along with other dogs and children. Please make sure any and all introductions are done in a slow and controlled manner. Courtesy of the shelter fund, Princess was sent out for a senior workup and dental cleaning! If you are interested in meeting Princess, please give us a call!
07/10/19 Princess came to the shelter because her owner could no longer care for her. She is an outside dog and has been trained for mushing; she generally ran as a wheel dog. Princess is extremely shy with strangers and will do best in a home with those that understand they will need to go slow with her. If you have children, please bring them down to meet Princess prior to adoption. Princess will need to be on a leash at all times outside- if she is loose or gets spooked and takes off she will not come to you. While at the shelter Princess got away from a tender in our fenced dog walking yard and we had to bring her sister Blackie in to retrieve her. Princess was kept with her sister Blackie and another dog, but may not do as well with unfamiliar dogs, as she has not been socialized extensively. If you have another dog in the home, she should meet that dog prior to adoption to ensure she can live happily with it. If you have room in your life for a pair, Princess would enjoy being adopted with her sister Blackie- they live and work well together. Blackie may be a confidence booster for her and together they might be great candidates for a child's beginning mushing team.
