**ONCE AGAIN PRINCESS IS LOOKING FOR A FAIRY GODMOTHER BEFORE THE CLOCKS STRIKES NOON!**STAFF FAVORITE, Beautiful Princess took a while to settle in but she has quickly endeared herself to the shelter staff. One writes, “Although this girl can be a little shy when you first meet her, she’s a darling once she knows you! She loves to play with her toys and she’ll follow the people she likes around wherever they go. Put the time in to get on this pup’s good side and you will have a devoted companion for life. You won’t regret taking this princess home to your castle!” Princess was left at the shelter due to her former owner’s personal problems and understandably she was scared and confused at first. She has lived with children and seemed to enjoy the company of other dogs. This gorgeous girl is only a year old. She has lost her home and family, now it is up to her Urgent Family to make sure she doesn’t lose her life tomorrow. Please advocate mightily for Princess tonight. She is spayed and ready to go but she will need everyone to share her story and rally around her if she is to live to see another day.

06/16/2016 WEB MEMO
A staff member writes, “Princess is one of our favorites right now! She came in incredibly nervous and has made huge strides. Now when we take her out to the yard she hops right up on the bench and leans on us for snuggles. She still is sensitive to noises and sudden movements but boy does she blossom when given time to develop trust! I can see her being an amazing companion for someone! Taking nice long walks (she is great on the leash) down peaceful country roads! If you are looking for a best friend to snuggle, she is waiting for you!”
06/18/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Princess was attention barking while in the kennel. Per the ACO’s request I took her out. Using three leashes to avoid another escape by princess, I leashed her within the facility then brought her out to the pens to ensure they were snug and attached properly. Princess’s behavior is suspect while on the walk, she attempts to slip out of the leash, then will dash. She also dashes unexpectedly during the walks. While remaining driven by her fears, most loud noises will startle her into a dash, as well as other people that approach too closely. After reentering the facility Princess entered her kennel without issue. RS
