Sweet Princess, a Bichon mix is still available for adoption. Please help us share her story so that she can find her forever home.

Princess is estimated to be around 12 years old, but looks and acts younger. She is on the larger side weighing around 18 pounds. She is fostered by Caring Hearts Rescue in Springfield, VA.

She has had a full veterinary workup for seniors which found she is in excellent health and has had a dental cleaning.

Princess loves nothing more than being at her guardian’s side, giving kisses, and enjoying lap time. But don’t assume she’s just a lap dog—she is a healthy, active, agile senior who enjoys walks and can manage stairs and getting on/off couches and beds with ease.

She gets along well with other dogs and people of all ages.

To read more about Princess and apply to adopt her, visit caringhearts.org.
