Princess is a special soul who has endured a challenging life in a puppy mill, but she's now on her journey to a better life. At six years old, she's an absolute sweetheart who loves being with her people and is learning to navigate the world outside the mill.

Princess may still be skittish about certain things, but her eagerness to please shines through. She's incredibly gentle and doesn't have a mean bone in her body. She's adapting to life outside and is willing to use a potty pad, even though she'd rather not go outside.

While Princess is amicable with other dogs, she might prefer a quiet home where she can truly relax. A senior or a calm household could be an excellent fit for her. Due to her skittish nature, it might be best to avoid a home with children, although she doesn't have any aggressive tendencies toward them.

One of Princess's remarkable qualities is her trainability. She's so eager to please that she'll let you do almost anything to her and is a quick learner. Her upcoming dental and spay on December 4 will undoubtedly improve her overall well-being.

Princess is a beautiful, sweet girl who deserves a loving and caring home, where she can experience the good life she's always deserved. In return, she'll shower her owner with absolute love and devotion, making her a wonderful and loyal companion.
