Meet Princesa, a loving and spirited pup who's currently in foster care, eagerly waiting for her forever home! Princessa may have a few challenges, but her loving nature and charming personality make her a fantastic companion.

In her foster home, Princesa coexists well with other dogs and is patient with children of various ages. She's tolerant and even enjoys the company of a 2-year-old, showcasing her gentle and adaptable nature.

Princesa also shares her space with cats and has a friendly attitude towards them. She mostly ignores the feline friends and occasionally engages in playful chases, displaying a lack of prey drive.

When it comes to being alone, Princesa handles it with ease, with no destructive tendencies. She is in the process of crate training, which may involve some crying and barking initially, but with time and routine, she's likely to adapt and improve.

Princesa is a sweetheart who adores affection and is a true Velcro dog. She wants to be as close to her humans as possible and will shower you with kisses and affection.

However, Princesa does struggle with fear when encountering new people or dogs. She may bark incessantly and raise her hackles when confronted with unfamiliar faces or furry friends. Patience and understanding are needed to help her overcome her fears and build her confidence.

Princesa's ideal home would be one where she can be with an active family or a companion pet that keeps her occupied. An understanding and patient owner will be crucial in helping her build trust and feel comfortable in social situations.

Despite her initial reservations, Princesa is a darling and deserves a loving home where her loving and playful nature can truly shine. Don't miss the chance to welcome this charming pup into your life!
Come meet your new best friend
