Story
I received Prince from a close friend who entrusted him to me during the final stages of her battle with cancer. He has been in my care since then and is a young adult dog who is well adjusted to a stable home environment. I am seeking a long-term living situation for him where he can continue to receive consistent care and affection. He is loyal, gentle, and very affectionate.
