Hi! I’m Proton, the Puppy Princess. You can find me on Instagram: @Protonthepuppyprincess to see more photos. I was found emaciated and dirty, with eyes that told my humans I had a lot of love to give. Despite my circumstances, I’ve convinced my humans I am the sweetest, most eager to please girl who loves to be picked up, cuddled, and snuggled. I just learned "sit" and my humans say I can be trained with food. My humans call me Duchess Lala because I’m bougie, sassy, and I am the alpha in the house. I’m a growing pup who enjoys playing with my bestie, fellow Lifeline foster, Nucleus. We LOVE our 2.5 mile Beltline daily walk and I vocalize my disappointment when I don’t get enough exercise or attention. Humans say I have no prey instinct and I have zero interest in the 5 cats who are my current roomies. But Nucleus, my bestie, and I play tug of war and love to steal toys from each other! I do worry about him taking my food though. So my humans feed my bestie and I together, but they watch us so we don’t fight over food. My humans don’t even get mad when I lie to them pretending I need to use the restroom just so I can soak up the sun outside or grab a new stick to chew on! The humans say I have a lot of personality. I’m still a puppy, so I can be mouthy and I like to jump when greeting people, but if you give me a toy, it’s no big deal. I’m a big chewer, so the toys I prefer are made of more chew-resistant fabric and materials. My humans think I would make a wonderful puppy for someone who has cats, enjoys having a dog as a personal trainer, and enjoys a 50ish pound cuddle buddy laying across their body on the couch. I won’t let you miss a morning walk for sure! But I also love Netflix afterwards! I can also stay in my crate while my humans have meetings. At night, I sleep in my crate in the same room as my bestie. Humans think I can be the equivalent of a pogo stick in the morning and they tell me my most equivalent Winnie the Pooh character would be Tigger. I go to the door and let them know when I need to go outside. My humans say I’m a velcro dog but I don’t mind when they run errands and leave me out of my crate. It reduces my separation anxiety and I’m on my best behavior! I’m super social and generally don't meet a stranger. Come meet me and see for yourself!
