A volunteer writes: Princess likes to walk slow and sniff lots, taking in all the scenery and scents life has to offer–she truly loves to stop and smell the roses, and everything else, too! If you’re looking for a calm, quiet, and laid back companion, Princess is for you. Sweet Princess joined us after spending her entire life with her former family, and it’s clear she’s interested in getting out of the shelter and into a new home ASAP! This little lady is a bit shy at first, but she loves to explore–when I walked her today, it took us about 15 minutes to get all the way outside because she was so interested in sniffing every square inch we passed. Princess’s former family describes her as friendly and playful with a medium activity level, housetrained, and tells us she knows how to sit and give paw for treats. What a smart lady! Please come and see Princess today, and give her the home and new family she deserves.
