Adopt: Princess
She Just Needs Someone to Sit Down and Let Her Come to Them 🐾
📍 Fairmont, WV | 🎂 5 years old | ⚖️ 86 lbs
Princess has a very specific request for meeting new people: please sit down, avoid direct eye contact, and let her do the rest. Give her that, and she will be at your side within minutes — sniffing, warming up, and eventually leaning in for pets on her own terms. She is not unfriendly. She is just a girl who has learned to be careful, and she is worth every second of patience it takes to earn her trust.
She has made remarkable progress in foster care. She is roaming more of the house each day, venturing upstairs to investigate new rooms, and gravitating toward her people and her foster siblings with growing confidence. She bows and bounces when she gets excited, takes treats with the gentlest mouth, and has zero issues with the high-velocity grooming dryer — which is honestly impressive. She is a dog full of surprises, and the best ones are still coming.
Princess is house-trained with a dog door, loves watching the neighbors and deer from the yard, and settles in well for car rides once she is inside. She does have a chicken allergy, so she is on a chicken-free diet and is doing much better for it. Dehydrated liver is basically the currency of her heart.
Princess would do best in a home that offers:
🏡 A securely fenced yard — she can bolt when startled and needs safe boundaries
🐾 Other calm dogs in the home — she draws confidence from canine companions
👶 Calm children welcome — even young ones, as long as they don't run toward her
🧘 Patient, low-key adopters who understand fear-based behavior and let her set the pace
🍗 A chicken-free diet — she has a known chicken allergy
🚫 No hugging or restraint — she is not comfortable with that yet
💛 Someone willing to sit down, look away, and let her come to them — she will
Princess is already becoming more herself every single day — and the person who gives her the space and patience to keep blooming is going to end up with one of the most devoted, loving companions imaginable. 💕
