About Princess

Meet Princess, a spirited chihuahua mix full of life and energy. At just 2 years old and weighing around 10 lbs, this little dynamo hails from Puerto Rico, where she had been cherished by an elderly owner. Since arriving in New England, she's adapted beautifully to her new surroundings, quickly learning to enjoy the colder weather with a stylish wardrobe of jackets. Princess is a bundle of joy, known for her playful zoomies and acrobatic feats—she even dances on her hind legs! She’s affectionate and greets everyone with enthusiasm, making her a delightful companion. While she gets along well with larger dogs, she might need some time to warm up to them, so proper introductions are essential. As for kids, she ideally matches with dog-savvy children aged 8 and older due to her slight resource guarding tendencies around toys and food. On the practical side, Princess is learning her potty training and is currently using pee pads more consistently. She sleeps happily in a crate at night and is comfortable being on her own, but she thrives with daily walks and stimulating activities. Health-wise, she is spayed, up-to-date on vaccines, and has a minor issue known as stud tail, which doesn’t affect her quality of life. If you’re ready for a loyal, active companion, consider giving Princess the loving home she deserves. Click apply to start the adoption process.
