About Princeton

Meet Princeton, a charming 12-year-old who tips the scales at 12 lbs. He's a delightful companion who loves attention, generous with kisses, and equally content napping in his cozy space. Princeton does well with both dogs and cats but appreciates his personal bubble and will politely let others know when it’s invaded. His dachshund nature occasionally shines through with his vocal tendencies, which is something to consider if you're in a quieter setting. He does great with housetraining provided he's taken out regularly and is well-versed in crate training. Princeton's adoption fee of $300 covers his medical care, including dental cleaning and routine vaccinations. Adopters must live within one hour of Romeoville, IL, and reference checks, vet checks, and home visits are part of the process. Same-day adoptions are not available. Ready to make a connection?
