About Prince

Prince is looking for a home where he can be truly spoiled, just like royalty. He thrives on receiving undivided attention from his family and prefers his own space when around other dogs, so a calm environment would suit him best. While he enjoys the company of other pets, he should eat separately as he doesn’t like sharing food or treats. Ideal for someone seeking a loyal companion, Prince loves to cuddle on the couch and follow his humans wherever they go. He is incredibly friendly with new people, making him a delight to be around. Since he recently got neutered, he's on his way to adopting better habits, but you may need to use a belly band to help him adjust to your home. If you think you could give Prince the loving home he deserves, please submit an application. Your new best friend awaits!
