About Prince

Meet Prince, a lovable one-eyed Lhasa Apso mix with a soft spot for belly rubs and companionship. At 5 years old, Prince thrives on human interaction and prefers to be surrounded by people, soaking up every bit of affection he can get. Whether he's rolling over to show off his signature smile or nudging for more pets, Prince's friendly nature shines through with everyone he meets. This mellow boy favors cuddles on the couch over chasing toys and feels safest being close to his humans. He struggles with separation anxiety, so he needs a home where someone is present most of the day and can help him build confidence as he settles in. Because Prince can be vocal when stressed, a quieter home outside of apartment living may suit him best. Prince's resilience is clear—after losing an eye in a past altercation with another dog, he hasn't lost any of his charm or zest for life. His "permanent wink" just makes him more endearing. Prince is food-motivated, making him a good learner for positive reinforcement training. He's reliable with potty pads and makes an effort to hold it until taken outside. He does have ongoing needs: managing mild skin issues, ongoing anxiety treatment, and a dental cleaning in the near future. His adopter should be ready for these routines to ensure his comfort and happiness. If you're looking for an affectionate companion who will stick by your side and fill your days with love, Prince is ready to be your loyal sidekick. Click apply to start the adoption process.
