Princess was saved from one of the shelters we work with in Texas. She was pregnant and had puppies on 13 September 2017. She was spayed on 21 November 2017, has had her rabies, core vaccines, de-wormed, heart-worm and tick-disease tested; Negative and micro-chipped. She has an estimated date of birth of 7 July 2015 and she weighs around 19 pounds. Princess is listed has been listed as a Schnauzer. We have no way of knowing the true breed, it is up to you to decide what you think her breed is.

Princess has been a great mum with her puppies who were 9 weeks old on 22 November 2017. She nursed and cared for them and still enjoys playing with them and keeping them in check. She is great with other dogs being around her puppies and really is the perfect mum.

Princess is desperate for affection and will run up and jump on me knee, or if anyone comes in she will go to them for attention. She is responsive in when told no, she will back off a little, but I imagine when with a family and she is getting all the love and attention she deserves she will not be as needy as she is here at the rescue. That being said it is not excessive, she just enjoys to be loved on and to give love and after all - who doesn't?

Princess is wonderful with other dogs, she has had no problem letting the bigger dogs know to give her and her pups space, or to leave her alone and she has been happy allowing the smaller dogs cuddle up and share the comfy beds. Equally she is happy and comfortable to instigate play. We do not have cats at the rescue and so we are unable to say how she would be around cats.

Princess is a young girl with a lot of energy, we do not have time to work on training at the rescue, but she is responsive. She needs a family that understands she will need training and guidance. An active family who can give her the lifestyle that she needs. Playing ball in the back-yard is fun, but she would benefit from so much more. Going on road trips, to new places, hikes and adventures and letting her explore the sights, smells and sounds the world has to offer will be to hers and your benefit.

It is important that her family understands the importance of basic and advanced training. We advise that families work on their own basic training so that boundaries and expectations can be set and personalities and body language learnt in the process, which will help form a much stronger bond.

Princess will make a great family addition to an experienced family. She is fun, active and very loving and deserves a good family and home to call her own. 

Princess is available for adoption from Give a Dog a Home, German Shepherd Dog Rescue for an adoption fee of $550.

This fee is not negotiable and is used to cover the rescue costs of pulling, vetting, health certificate, transport from Texas to Maine, monthly preventatives, supplements, food and anything else that is needed.

Princess is located at the rescue in Sebec, Maine. We post in various states along the east coast and Canada where we have had lots of successful adoptions to enable more exposure for these beautiful saved souls. Families will need to be prepared to travel to the rescue to meet and take home their new best friend. Sebec is located just outside the towns of Dover-Foxcroft and Milo (approx 8 miles) and approx 45 miles from Bangor. There are also lots of hotels, motels, pet friendly accommodations  and wonderful camp-sites for the more adventurous families and what a great way to get to know your new best friend. If there are options to arrange transport, we will work with you to make it happen.
