PUPPY KAI FORMERLY PRINCESS1 HAS A NEW HOME AND FAMILY

The family that adopted her has decided that they are just not ready for a dog. Being a great family that have decided that she would be better off in a different home than theirs so we have begun the re-homing process. They 'cliff-notes' on her are listed below. Sweet puppy Princess needs a new family. She came in today at an emaciated 50 pounds. She needs good food, TLC and a new family t love. Princess1 as she will be known as we already had a princess this year was found on the street in Ft Myers. She is an 8 month old spayed female black and tan GSD. She is HW Neg and besides being super skinny is a great dog. She is staying in Bonita with a male and a few smaller dogs and she is in her element. She is friendly and loves other dogs, cats and she even met a rabbit. Her temperament is excellent and why someone dumped her is beyond me. She will make a great family dog once she is trained. She is housebroken which seems to say she was in a home and HW Neg which also means she was cared for at some time but then dumped??? Go figure. She is available immediately. She has had some training and she is extremely affectionate, rides well in the car and seeks touch readily.

Here is what the foster family said about this dog:
