Princess is still looking for her forever home. She is fostered by Caring Hearts Rescue in Springfield, VA.

This sweet, gentle Bichon is 12 years old, but you wouldn’t know it to look at her because she is so agile and full of life. She bounds up the stairs easily, has no problem jumping up on a couch for cuddle time, and enjoys her walks.

But what Princess enjoys most is being close to her humans, cuddling and giving kisses. She loves attention and lap time and will gaze adoringly into her humans’ eyes.

Princess loves everyone she meets and is the first to greet people at the door—and the first in line for meals! She gets along well with other dogs and people of all ages.

Princess has had a full senior physical with bloodwork and a dental and is in excellent health for her age.

To apply to adopt Princess, visit caringhearts.org.
