My Story

Okay… look how handsome this boy is! His name truly fits him. Prince carries himself with a gentle, quiet charm that wins you over the moment he feels safe. Prince came to us after life at home became a little hectic. He was shy at first, but with patience and kindness he has absolutely bloomed into a sweet, happy boy. He may need a moment to warm up to new people, but once he does, you’ll see his soft, affectionate side shine. Prince has medium energy — he enjoys gentle pets, nice walks, and fun enrichment activities. He’ll be happiest with regular exercise and playtime, but he’s not an over-the-top, high-energy guy. He’s more of a steady, easygoing companion. He appears to have great manners! Prince seems potty trained, walks well on leash, and knows the cues “sit” and “down.” We were told he doesn’t love being crated, but he has adapted well to his kennel here. With continued positive reinforcement, we anticipate he’ll grow even more comfortable. Previously, his caregiver mentioned he didn’t always get along with other male dogs. Since being neutered, we have not observed any reactivity in the shelter. That said, adopters should be mindful of this so we can set him up for success. We’re always happy to arrange a dog meet-and-greet prior to adoption if needed. Prince has truly come into his own, and it’s been such a joy watching him grow more confident every day. He’s a loving, loyal boy who’s ready to find a calm, caring home where he can keep shining.
