Princeton's Story

For inquiries email kathyb@compactcaninerescur.org<br/><br/>Fee: $600<br/><br/>Location: Chesapeake, VA<br/><br/> <br/><br/>Meet Princeton! <br/><br/>Prince is a 6 year old, 16 pound Bichon. He comes to us from the Chesapeake Shelter. He has had his entire world flipped upside down. The family who purchased him from a pet store decided they can no longer care for him. So, they took him to the shelter. The shelter is overflowing and reached out to us for help. Of course we scooped him up immediately! He was very nervous the first 24 hours. He barked, paced and panted a lot. But, his foster mom helped him through it. She took him to the groomer and he is feeling and looking so much better. His coat was matted to the skin so he had a complete shavedown. Now he can grow his beautiful coat out again. <br/><br/>As expected, Princeton has some anxiety. He doesn't understand why he isn't in his home anymore. He wants to be near his people all the time. In time this may lessen but for now, we are making sure he feels safe. He follows foster mom everywhere...even to the bathroom for showers!<br/><br/>Princeton was very good at the groomer. He was even falling asleep while he was being clipped!! What a sweet guy! <br/><br/>He will be best served in an active home where he can walk daily and follow his person around the house. He does not need another dog but he does get along with other dogs. He is playful so another playful dog would be the best match for him. A fenced yard would be a plus so he can explore, sniff and work on house manners. Preference will be given to adopters who are home during the day. If you are an active retiree or work from home, Prince would be an idea dog for you.<br/><br/>Prince will be neutered on September 23, 2026. Once healed he will be ready for adoption.<br/><br/>Let's find this handsome gentleman a home.<br/><br/>For the most up to date photos and information follow us on our social media channels.<br/><br/>Instagram<br/><br/>Facebook<br/><br/>X<br/><br/>YouTube<br/><br/>TikTok<br/><br/>BlueSky<br/><br/>LinkedIn
