About Princess

Princess is a striking medium-sized mix of Catahoula, husky, and lab breeds, currently fostering hope for her new life after being found abandoned. She’s just over a year and a half old and balances a lot of youthful energy with the ability to settle in and relax by your side. At heart, Princess loves activity—running, playing, exploring—though sometimes her energy tips into mild anxiety. Give her a routine, and she’ll chill right out. Princess does well with dogs that are a good match for her energy and style, but she’s picky about her canine company, so proper introductions matter. She shouldn’t live with cats. Kids are fine, as long as they’re older and understand not to rush her—a gentle approach works best. She’s nearly completely housebroken, crate trained, and has solid leash skills. Riding in the car is no problem for her, and she comes when called. Princess is spayed and up to date on her rabies and distemper shots. She’s in Harrisburg, PA, but transport can be arranged if the fit is right. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
