Principessa *Arriving 10/24* D12822's Story

This absolutely stunning girl is as sweet and easygoing as they come, with a gentle personality that is going to fit right in to some lucky person's life.<br/>Principessa is the definition of a cuddle bug. The minute her foster sits down on the porch, she's right there climbing into their lap! She adores affection and just wants to be close to her people. She's settled into a busy household without batting an eye, taking everything in stride like the little queen she is. <br/>Principessa gets along wonderfully with cats and other dogs, and she loves playing chase with her canine friends. She also enjoys toys and a good game of fetch, but she's not overly energetic. She's happy to play, then settle down and soak up all the love you have to offer. She's crate trained, does well in the car, and is generally a quiet, gentle companion.<br/>She hasn't been exposed to children yet, but given her personality, she may do well with them. Proper introductions and supervision would help set everyone up for success.<br/>Principessa currently sees her kennel as her safe space, giving her somewhere comfortable to retreat when she needs a little downtime. Having a cozy spot of her own will help her continue to feel secure as she settles into her new home.<br/>Sweet Principessa isn't asking for a castle or a royal carriage. All she really wants is a loving home, a comfy place to curl up, and someone who doesn't mind sharing their lap! She's beautiful inside and out, and she has all the makings of a truly perfect dog.<br/>If you're looking for a gentle, affectionate girl who can enjoy playtime with her furry friends and then happily snuggle up beside you. After all, every princess deserves a kingdom to call her own. <br/><br/><br/>Principessa is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 10/24/2026 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 8:30 - 11:30am.
