My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Prince

Foster to Adopt - Pending Neuter

Do you Ever wonder what happened to all those fairy tale princes? Well, I'm one of them - just with four paws and a wagging tail!

Hi there, I'm Prince, and while I might not live in a castle (yet), I've got a story to tell that's still being written.

One day, my whole world changed. The family I knew could no longer keep me, and though they loved me, they had to make the difficult decision to bring me to Animal Control. It wasn't anyone's fault really - sometimes life just throws unexpected curves our way. But you know what? I decided to keep my head held high and my tail wagging, because I believe every cloud has a silver lining.

Here at the C.A.R.E., I've become known for my signature move - spinning in circles when I'm happy! The volunteers laugh and say I dance like I'm at a royal ball. I may be small at just 12 pounds, but I've got a big personality and an even bigger heart. Every day, I practice my best manners and show off how smart I am by learning new commands. It makes the shelter staff smile when I sit perfectly or come when called, my little paws prancing across the floor.

My favorite part of each day is when I get to go for walks. As I trot along the sidewalk, I imagine I'm exploring my future kingdom with my future best friend. You see, I'm not just looking for any home - I'm looking for my person, someone who'll be my loyal companion just as I'll be theirs.

Sometimes at night, when the shelter gets quiet, I dream about what my forever home will be like. I imagine soft beds to curl up in, toys to play with, and most importantly, someone who'll love me for exactly who I am - a little prince with a lot of love to give. Sure, I may shed a bit (even royal fur coats need maintenance!), but I promise to make up for it with endless cuddles and entertainment.

I'm still young - just a year old - with so much love and adventure ahead of me. Every morning when I wake up, I wonder: 'Will today be the day? Will I meet my perfect person?' Maybe, just maybe, that person is you, reading my story right now.

They say every prince finds their castle eventually. I'm ready to find mine, to fill it with joy, playfulness, and unconditional love. I'm ready to be someone's loyal companion, their best friend, their Prince.

So what do you say? Would you like to be part of my story? I'm here at C.A.R.E, waiting to meet you, hoping you might be the one to give this little prince his happily ever after.

I have been microchipped and will be neutered and have had a full veterinary checkup and vaccines. My adoption fee is $325. For more information or if you would like to meet me, please fill out an adoption survey at carenorthshore.org/dog-adoption-survey

Your future loyal companion,
Prince

Our adoption facility hours and location can be found on our website. https://carenorthshore.org/care-adoption-center/

Additional adoption info

See our process and policies on our website.
https://carenorthshore.org/adoption-information/

Our fees include a full medical exam by a veterinarian. This includes a Feline Leukemia and FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) test for cats, Rabies and Distemper Vaccines, deworming and Spay/Neuter. Dogs receive a Heartworm Check, Spay/Neuter, Rabies and Distemper Vaccines, Canine Flu Vaccine, deworming, and Kennel Cough preventative. Our modest adoption fees do not cover the procedures and vet work that we provide the animals. We fundraise to make up the difference. Any ongoing medical needs that C.A.R.E. is aware of are explained fully, (including daily medicine costs), to the potential adopter, and become the responsibility of the adopter.
