About Little Prince

Meet Little Prince! Little Prince arrived as an owner surrender and is seeking a patient, experienced home where he can feel safe. He tends to be cautious with handling, expressing defensiveness when frightened or startled. It’s important that his new owner understands his need for space and respects his boundaries. Despite this, he has a sweet side and was sociable when he first came to the shelter. Little Prince would thrive in an adult-only home with an adopter who comprehends canine body language. A calm environment with positive-reinforcement training will help him feel secure. He should have his own space and should never be forced into uncomfortable situations or have valued items taken from him without a safe trade. He is not suitable for homes with children due to his history of defensive behavior. Recent introductions with other dogs showed increasing tension, so it's best for him to be in a single-pet home without trips to dog parks. At 8 years old, Little Prince has some ongoing medical needs, including chronic eye disease and dental concerns. He recently overcame a respiratory infection and will need continued veterinary check-ups, especially for his eyes. Little Prince enjoys treats and toys, and he walks nicely on a leash. With patience and positive reinforcement, you might discover the affectionate companion beneath his wary exterior. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
