Story
She was my mothers dog and she passed away in 22. We kept princess with the boys and our lab that we had and our lab passed away dec 22. We recently bought a house and do not have a fenced yard and she needs to be active. We just don’t have time with sports and work. She is a good dog likes to have attention and it is preferred that the new adopters have fenced yard. Not necessary if someone is home a lot. She likes to play chase when she gets out of the fence normally curious of the other dogs from the park. She doesn’t like thunder. Normally shakes and sometimes during fireworks. She does pretty good walking. Likes to be close to you in the house. She likes her belly rubbed. She is house trained but has never been kenneled. She grew up with a cat so sometimes you will see her wipe her face with her paw.
