Pretty Pittie Princess

PRETTY PITTY PRINCESS | SHE'S SPENT LONG ENOUGH WAITING TO BE LOVED.Y'all, meet Pretty Pitty Princess, or just Pitty as we've all come to know her. ❤️ This sweet girl has had one rough road, and if there's one thing we wish everybody could understand about her, it's that she is so much more than her medical history and everything she's been through.Princess has spent MONTHS of her life waiting for somebody to give her a chance. She originally came from Benton County and ended up in the care of a veterinary office after going through some pretty serious medical problems, including a rectal prolapse that required surgery.

The folks at that office worked hard to get her healthy and cared for her for months while she waited for a home. Eventually, somebody adopted her, and everybody hoped she'd finally gotten the happy ending she deserved. Unfortunately, that adoption didn't work out, and she ended up right back at the veterinary office, where she spent even more months waiting.Then the veterinary office closed its doors. One of the employees who had been caring for Princess couldn't bear the thought of sending her back to the county shelter, knowing what could happen to her there, so she took her home herself. She's been caring for Princess for nearly a month now, giving her a warm bed, toys, attention, and all the love she can. The only problem is that she has five cats, and Princess absolutely cannot be around cats. Keeping everybody safely separated has meant rearranging her life and even missing work. And Lord knows, bills don't stop coming just because you're trying to do something good.Now Princess is being cared for between two temporary homes in Benton and Humphreys County, and we're getting to see even more of this girl's personality.And y'all, WHAT A PERSONALITY SHE HAS! ❤️Princess is a loving, affectionate, house-trained girl who wants nothing more than to be somebody's number one. She loves belly rubs, squeaky toys, playing fetch, splashing around in water, and being right beside her people. And when it's bedtime, you better make some room! She's a professional bed hog who will cuddle up beside you, take up just about the entire bed, and keep you warm all night long. She's also made herself a little buddy in her current temporary foster home, a 30-pound former Humane Society pup named Gremlin. These two have been getting along wonderfully during their supervised time together. We've learned that Princess LOVES attention, and if somebody else is getting petted, she's going to make sure nobody forgets about her! She'll practically climb right over her buddy like she's saying, "Excuse me, I believe you were supposed to be loving on ME!" Princess has the playful personality of a young Lab. She loves other dogs who can match her enthusiasm, but she does play HARD. Once she's medically cleared for energetic activity, another playful, sturdy dog with a similar energy level could be a wonderful companion. She's also perfectly capable of being the only dog in the house, and something tells us she wouldn't mind having all the attention to herself!She's met different people and has shown us just how loving she can be. She can be a little unsure around unfamiliar men at first, but with a patient introduction, she warms up and starts showing that sweet personality. We haven't seen her display aggression toward people in our care. She's just a girl with a big personality who sometimes needs a little time to get comfortable. ONE VERY IMPORTANT THING ABOUT PRINCESS: ABSOLUTELY NO CATS OR SMALL ANIMALS!Princess has a strong prey drive, and she cannot safely live with cats, chickens, rabbits, birds, ferrets, or other small pets. We cannot make exceptions to this. She is also capable of CLIMBING AND CLEARING FENCES, so she needs somebody who understands secure containment, proper leash handling, and supervision. Any resident dogs would need careful introductions. We want her next placement to work out because this girl has been moved ar
