About Prilla

Meet Prilla, one half of a delightful duo with her sister Rani. These tiny Maltese-Poodle mixes are both about a year old, weighing around 10 pounds each. Prilla is a sweet girl who, along with Rani, is learning to trust and enjoy human companionship. They are still shy and need a patient family to help them bloom. While they love their toys and treats, they are not yet comfortable enough to take food from your hand, so gentle encouragement is key. These sisters are happiest when they are together, engaging in playful antics like chase and wrestling. Brave Rani often leads the charge, while thoughtful Prilla follows her lead. Outside is where their personalities brightly shine, especially when they feel safe. Prilla and Rani require a calm household with no children, a securely fenced yard, and a friendly resident dog to guide them. Since they are still timid, handling them carefully is essential. They are a bonded pair and must be adopted together. Watching them learn about love and safety is a heartwarming journey. Could you be the nurturing home that helps these sisters discover a bigger, brighter world?
