About Prince Beethoven

Prince Beethoven is a gentle giant who recently returned to the shelter after his family could no longer care for him. Weighing a hefty 145 pounds, he's a calm and sweet-natured dog looking for his forever home. Ideally, he would thrive in an adult-only setting or with teenagers, as he hasn't had much exposure to young children. Though he enjoys chasing cats, given some time and proper introductions, he tends to eventually ignore them and can coexist peacefully. With a luxurious long coat, Prince Beethoven requires regular grooming to prevent matting and manage his significant shedding. It's best for potential adopters to have some knowledge about his breeds to help provide the best care. He is neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, Heartworm/Lyme tested, and microchipped, ready to find a new loving family. Don't miss your chance to bring this affectionate dog into your home. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
