Story
Miss Priss Sweet Little Sis | The Sweetest Little Shadow
Miss Priss Sweet Little Sis didn't get her name by accident. This beautiful brindle girl really is just about as sweet as they come. She's gentle and a little thoughtful when something is new, but once she realizes she's safe, out comes an affectionate, playful little girl who would happily spend the rest of her day right beside her people.
At 3 months old and quickly approaching 4 months, weighing approximately 26.4 lbs, Miss Priss is a spayed female Cane Corso/American Pit Bull Terrier mix with an absolutely gorgeous brown-and-black brindle coat. She's a striking puppy, and her personality makes her even harder to resist. We all fell in love with her the moment we met her, and it doesn't take long to understand why.
Watch Miss Priss in action, the come back to read more!
Miss Priss can be a little reserved and timid at first, especially when she's taking in a new environment. Give her a little time to look around and figure things out, though, and she settles in beautifully. After just her first day of playing and getting comfortable in her foster home, she was already curling up to snuggle with her foster and foster's partner.
She also hasn't shown much of a preference between men and women so far. Once she's comfortable, she's simply happy to have a person to love.
And preferably, she'd like that person to stay close.
Miss Priss is a little shadow who always wants to know where her people are. She currently shows some separation anxiety and will whine if her person leaves the room. She's also getting used to spending time in her kennel, where there can definitely be some whimpering as she adjusts. Her future family will want to continue helping her build confidence and independence gradually, showing her that being alone for a little while is safe and that her people always come back.
Thankfully, this girl has something very important working in her favor:
She's incredibly smart—and she loves food!
Miss Priss is highly food motivated and already knows sit! Treats should be a fantastic tool as she continues learning everything a growing puppy needs to know. She's currently working on potty training and will benefit from a consistent routine, plenty of opportunities to go outside, praise, and patience while she gets the hang of it.
She's also entered the very important puppy phase of asking, "But what if I put this in my mouth?" about nearly everything.
Miss Priss loves to chew, which is completely normal for a puppy her age. Toys work wonderfully for redirecting her toward something appropriate, and she's especially happy with a stuffy. She also loves to play fetch, giving her family a fun way to keep that busy puppy brain and body entertained.
Miss Priss has already had some early cat socialization in her foster home. The resident cat can be a little unsure about newcomers, and Miss Priss initially gave a growl during their first meeting. With time and appropriate introductions, however, they've warmed up to each other well, and Miss Priss has continued doing nicely around the cat. We'd still recommend slow, supervised introductions with any future feline roommate so both animals can adjust comfortably.
She hasn't been introduced to young children yet, so we don't want to make assumptions about a relationship she hasn't had the opportunity to experience. As with any puppy—especially one who will grow into a larger, powerful adult—thoughtful, supervised introductions and teaching both puppy and children how to interact respectfully will be important.
At the end of the day, though, Miss Priss is still very much a baby. She has potty training to finish, kennel confidence to build, puppy chewing to work through, and independence to learn. What she already has is a wonderfully loving foundation.
She's smart.
She's playful.
She's affectionate.
She's absolutely beautiful.
And beneath that gorgeous brindle coat is one of the sweetest little girls we've had the pleasure of getting to know.
Miss Priss is ready for a fun, loving home where she can play fetch, carry around her stuffies, learn new things for plenty of treats, explore the world, and then curl up beside her favorite people when the day is done.
Miss Priss Sweet Little Sis is looking for someone who will fall in love with her just as quickly as we did—and something tells us that won't be very difficult.

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!
We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+.
