Meet Princess, a sweet and gentle pup who’s looking for a family to help her build confidence and show her the love she deserves! Princess and her two brothers were found after being abandoned on a back road. They were very skittish, and it took a while to trap them. They had either not had much human interaction, or the interaction they had was not positive. Princess made some progress at the shelter, but we felt like she needed more one-on-one attention. She entered the Leash on Life Prison Pup Program in July of 2024, where she’s been working hard on socialization and gaining trust. Born on 4/20/23, Princess is a playful 40-pound bundle of joy who’s spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all her shots. 

Princess is shy at first, but once she warms up, she blossoms into a playful, energetic companion. She loves fetch, tug of war, and playing with other dogs—she even thinks she’s as big as a Great Dane! She’s also a bit of a goofball, enjoying outdoor adventures like playing with bugs. But when it’s time to relax, Princess is a total couch potato and may snuggle up on your lap for some extra love if she's in the mood.

This smart girl already knows several commands, including “sit,” “down,” “stay,” “place,” and “come,” and she walks beautifully on a loose leash. She’s also housetrained and will wait for her "eat-eat" command before mealtime—especially impressive because Princess is highly food-motivated, making training easier!

While she’s cautious of new people and may bark when she first meets someone, Princess isn’t aggressive and just needs time to feel comfortable. She’s very observant and likes to take things at her own pace, so patience and understanding will help her come out of her shell. She’s a little wary of big birds (who can blame her?) and tends to shy away from strangers on walks, but with the right guidance, she’ll continue to grow in confidence.

Princess is a loving, calm, and loyal companion who’s ready to find her forever home. If you’re looking for a sweet pup to be your lap dog, playmate, and best friend, Princess might just be the perfect match for you! Could you be the one to give Princess the happy ending she’s been waiting for?
