Princess Papillon & Chihuahua Mix Medfield, MA

Two-and-a-half-year-old Princess was given up due to her previous owner's move to a place that didn't allow them to have dogs. Princess lived with two other small dogs and an 11-year-old child whom she adored and was protective of. Her owner described her as very energetic, fun, playful and affectionate. She loves walks and spins excitedly in her kennel when she knows she is going for a walk. She is mostly housebroken, but her previous family also used pee pads for her. She can be protective of her food and favorite treat but is fine as long as you leave her alone while she is eating. We think she would do best in a home with older kids. Her adoption fee is $350.

We give priority to people that fill out our adoption application, so if you are interested in meeting Princess, that is the first step. E-mail inquiries about a dog are not considered an application.

If a dog is listed on our website, that means that dog is still available for adoption. The Shelter is staffed primarily by volunteers so adoption meetings take place on Saturdays from 11 - 1:00 during adoption hours, or by appointment. Our dog adoption fee for dogs 5 years old or younger is $350. Every dog we place is given age-appropriate vaccines, wormed, treated for ticks/fleas, tested for heartworm and spayed/neutered prior to adoption. We send each dog home with a collar and leash and a month's worth of heartworm preventative. If a dog is listed on our website, they are still available for adoption. Please fill out the adoption application if you would like to be considered for a dog you see in our care.

With very few exceptions, dogs are happiest and the most well-behaved when they receive daily exercise and ongoing training, so we always prefer to place our dogs with families who are willing to make a commitment to both.
