About Princess

What are you waiting for? Apply today! Princess is the kind of dog who will turn heads with her striking beauty and charming personality. She is a medium-sized American Staffordshire Terrier mix, weighing around 55 pounds and sporting an eye-catching blue and white coat. Princess is a loving companion, great with both adults and children, and enjoys having a moderate activity level – always ready for a relaxing stroll or a playful jog when the opportunity arises. She also adores toys and is known to add a touch of fun to your day with her adorable habit of 'stealing' pieces of her foster dad’s woodpile! Princess is house trained and crate trained, with her vaccinations and preventatives current, and has been microchipped and vetted while in foster care. Because she can be selective with other dogs, a slow introduction to canine friends is best, and she is not recommended for a home with cats. Her future home should ideally have a secure, fenced yard, and for potential renters, permission from the landlord will be required. Applicants under 25 should be prepared to show they lead an adult lifestyle. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
