About Prince

Meet Prince, a charming 2-3 year old Lhasa Apso/Shih Tzu mix, currently living outside your area but ready to journey to his forever home. Surrendered by a family who could no longer care for him, Prince is fully vetted and prepared to join his new family. He enjoys leisurely walks on a leash and gets along well with dogs of all sizes. This affectionate companion thrives on human company, happily sitting in your lap, observing life around him. With his medium energy level, Prince has bursts of excitement where he shows off some playful zoomies, mainly enjoying time with his beloved toys, especially stuffies. He’s well-behaved and will bring joy to any household, especially those with children over six years old. However, he prefers to avoid families with very young kids. Prince is microchipped, vaccinated, and will soon be spayed, ready to adapt to his new loving environment. Please note that he won't be at this location immediately, but transport can be arranged to bring him closer to you. Every dog deserves a loving home, and Prince is eager to be part of yours.
