Story

Princess is a 12 year old female Pit mix she is handicap. In 2019 she ran into the street and got hit by a car. She lost her paw so my husband wraps it so the cement doesnt break the skin. She loves her walks but needs a yard she loves to sun bath but it is impossible in an apt we are originally from San Antonio but came over here for my husband to work. But due to both of us needing knee surgery it is very hard when my husband comes from work to take her out. I myself can no longer take her either please if someone can provide a good home and a yard I know she would be happy. She loves kids and here at the apts my husband didnt want anyone to know her real name so he told them its Rosie cuz she is absolutely a very nosey dog. We call her nosey RosiePrincess is also kennel trained. Another good thing about princess she is not a barker inside when the door bell rings.And she Loves to hear music and watch cartoons
