About Princess

Princess is a three-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier mix that weighs 43 pounds, eagerly waiting for her forever home. After coming to us as an owner surrender, she’s understandably feeling anxious in the shelter environment. Behind her initial fear lies a heart ready to love and be loved. This gentle girl wants to be your constant companion, following you everywhere and curling up in your lap. She has a sweet little grumble that seems to say, "Thank you!" when she's feeling content. Treat time is a joy for her, as she takes them delicately. Currently, Princess has a low-to-medium energy level and responds well to basic commands like sit. She’s motivated by food, which will help in training, though she needs guidance on leash walking. Patience and encouragement are key as she learns new habits. With her nurturing instinct, she is reported to be dog friendly, having recently raised a litter of puppies. Now, she’s ready to be cherished in her own home. Princess is available through our Foster-to-Adopt Program, so you can welcome her while she completes her spay procedure. She’s already vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm negative. Though she’s being treated for some skin and ear infections and could stand to gain a bit of weight, what she truly needs is someone to show her love and patience. Once she feels secure, you’re going to find a devoted friend in her. Are you ready to offer this sweet girl the loving home she deserves? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
