Story

Prince finds himself euth listed, due to a bite history. A bite that was absolutely caused by human error! He is great with other dogs, and was a super sweetheart when they had him out in the play yard. He came from an awful hoarding situation with 28 dogs, most of whom have been adopted out already. He knows basic commands, is about 4 years old, 95 lbs., and would make a perfect new family member with a strong adopter & a quiet home. We can only take him if we can find a foster. Once we find a committed, approved foster, he will be going to our trainer for an assessment. As always, all food, vetting, toys, treats, etc… is covered by our rescue, while under foster. Preference given to foster to adopt.

This super sweet boy needs to come back to our rescue, through no fault of his own. His dad loves him very much, but has fallen on extremely hard times. We originally pulled him from the euth list at Memphis on July 5, 2023. He is completely house trained, and not destructive when home alone. He loves humans of all sizes! He will greet every person by licking their hand, if you let him. He does need to be the only dog in the home.
