About Princesa ~has Multiple Applications~

Princesa is a sweet, affectionate dog who thrives on human connection. She loves cuddling up next to people, especially if belly rubs are involved, and she lights up when playing with squeaky toys or tennis balls. Her favorite mornings start with a walk and a good breakfast, followed by toy time and naps. Afternoons are for family fun—she genuinely enjoys spending time with kids and will happily join in whatever they’re doing. She’s leash, crate, and house trained, so sliding her into your family life should be a breeze. Princesa’s energy is balanced: she’ll gladly go for a walk—or even a jog—but she’s just as content napping near you. She gets along with children, making her a great fit for a family home. While she can be protective and is still working on relaxing a bit around other dogs and strangers, her foster is building up her confidence. Outside, keep her leashed—she’s curious and quick and loves to scavenge for tasty things, so supervision is important on walks. If you want a loyal, snuggly companion who’s happiest with her family, Princesa is ready to bring some love and laughter into your home. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
