ABOUT ME...
My name is Princess! I was surrendered by my family after they could no longer afford to care for me. I was had a lot of other doggies to play with and a small child who I was wonderful with. I was used to a large yard with little-to-no interactions with people outside of my home, due to the rural area I lived in. My foster mom lived in a busier area which has been difficult, but I love to look out the window and see what's happening! I have found that I love treats, peanut butter, toys that I can pull the fluff out of and of course I love my humans and siblings. I really like peace and quiet and hanging out on the couch or on the bed to get some Z's in, or full movie marathon weekends. I am one of the sweetest dogs you'll ever meet, I am gentle and shy but loving when I am comfortable. I am a 30 LB lap dog who is a big baby in almost every way. I am curious and timid but irresistibly cute! I am one of the best cuddlers and love kisses.
I AM GREAT WITH...
Humans, dogs, and children. I can handle a crate when needed, will not have any accidents in the crate, and I like eating dinner in there too. I am great at sharing toys and rough housing with my foster family. I also am a great eater and might do well with a slow feeder.
I AM STILL WORKING ON...
Walking on a leash, strange noises, and new people are still things I'm getting used to. I love the idea of a walk and get so excited to put my harness on, but I get frightened when there are other people around on the walk. I get potty shy in my new space and have accidents when I am scared. Cats are a foreign object for me, when I saw one at the vet, I had an accident because I was scared, but I think I would be kind.
I AM NOT GOOD WITH...
Not good with sudden movements & unfamiliar events... (ex; new people or dogs coming into the backyard, walking in busy areas, loud sudden noises).
I REQUIRE...
A quiet neighborhood with a nice yard to run around in AND a house with no shared walls. A family who allows me on furniture because I love the couch and the bed!! Someone with the time to teach me that going potty is safe and walking can be fun. I love people I just get scared initially, but always accepting of love and pets from everyone I meet!
**All animals in our care are spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested (age 1 & up), given preventatives, and provided with initial vaccinations AT MINIMUM. Booster shots are included in the adoption fee and will be performed at our clinic, or the adopter can use their own vet at their expense. Adopters must reside within 2 hours of Columbus, OH. No transportation assistance is available.**
