Princessa's foster mom reports she has become quite the independent pup. She does great when left home alone, settling calmly without barking or trying to escape the crate. While she still prefers your company, she's comfortable enough to hang out alone in another room.
Directly from Princessa - Likes & Dislikes:
Dislikes: Pesky squirrels! As the best squirrel patroller in town, I need to defend my yard and will bark at them until they leave.
Quirks: I enjoy a bit of mouth play with my foster family's hands or arms. However, they prefer to give me a toy to play with instead, which I find fun too! Housetrained & Crate Trained:
I am fully housetrained and crate-trained. I happily go to my crate to eat, have a snack, when I'm left alone, or when I need a time out to calm down.
Training: I am currently working on a few things: Leash Behavior: I am strong and may pull during walks. My foster mom stops walking until I ease up, and I'm learning to stay calm and move on when I get worked up. I need someone familiar with reactive dogs to help me continue this progress.
Reactivity: I can be reactive to other dogs when I'm on a leash or when they walk by the house. I'm okay if I'm at a safe distance and learning to control my reactions.
Jumping: Sometimes, I can't help but jump when I get excited, but I'm improving at controlling myself. I'm learning that sitting gets me more love than jumping!
Commands I Know: Sit, down, here, touch, and crate. I'm very smart and pick up new things quickly.
Her prior history: I was a stray mama living on the streets of Memphis with my babies. These amazing people brought us off the streets. I hung out there for a little bit before coming to NE. I went to a training facility so I could work on my manners of pulling and jumping. Then, one day, this lady came and picked me up, and I have been living with her, her husband, and her 11-year-old son.

More about this rescue
PAWS is comprised of a small group of volunteers from New England and Tennessee trying to reduce the euthanization rate (previously 90%) at the Tipton County Animal Control shelter in Brighton, Tennessee. This shelter is forced to euthanize thousands of animals each year due to irresponsible pet owners that do not spay/ neuter their dogs in the area. Millions of dogs in America are euthanized each year due to lack of space and lack of funding to try and find them better homes.
Our mission is to save as many animals as possible, removing them from the shelter, having their veterinary needs met prior to traveling and then finding them loving homes throughout New England. We do this only with the assistance of many people volunteering their time by going to the shelter, transporting the dogs to the vet, fostering dogs who need special care, and arranging for their new and happy homes in this area. Most importantly, we cannot do any of this without those people willing to open their homes and hearts to these lovely creatures.
