Prince

Meet Prince! Prince is a handsome and well loves black Labrador retriever mix with an estimated birthday of 03/02/2014. Prince is our longest resident at the shelter, having been with us since early 2021. When he originally came in, he was skin and bones, and torn to shreds with wounds. Not only this, but he was heartworm positive. He spent several months recovering and going through treatment before becoming available later that year. Whether due to his age or black dog syndrome he has been overlooked time and time again. He is a staff favorite, none of us can resist giving him love whenever we walk by him. The benefit of him being with us for so long is that we have had more time than any to learn all the little things that make him Prince. Prince absolutely loves tennis balls, and will still play fetch with the younger crowd without breaking a sweat. When it's time to come inside his kennel for the night, you bet he won't go in until you give him his nightly pets and lovin's. He makes friends with other dogs like he was born to do it, and hasn't greeted one without a wagging tail in as long as we can remember. Prince absolutely loves to go on walks and hikes, and has gone on many park trips with staff and volunteers. He has no hesitations about getting his paws wet in a creek or a pup pool, either. If we HAD to give him a flaw, it's that he has it out for cats. This fella does NOT want a cat around his home, he prefers his companions to bark instead of meow. Upon adoption, Prince will also require a year supply of our heartworm prevention for us to ensure he will not go through heartworms again. Prince is fully vetted, microchipped, and neutered, and it is $150 for his heartworm prevention. Want to come meet this happy guy? Call 615-446-7387. If you have other dogs, a meet and greet is required prior to adoption.
