Prince is a gentle, affectionate 7-month-old Wire-Haired mix currently in Mexico City. He loves cuddles and staying close to his people. Though he can be shy in unfamiliar situations, he is eager to explore and is blossoming with patience, encouragement, and positive experiences.

Ideal Home

Prince would thrive in a calm, loving home with plenty of companionship and attention. He is medium-low energy and enjoys walks, playtime, and relaxing with his people.

• A patient adopter who can give him time to decompress and build confidence.
• Someone who is not away for long periods.
• A friendly small dog companion would be a wonderful bonus.
• Prince has lived comfortably with dogs at the shelter, though he may be timid around unfamiliar dogs and environments.
• He is likely to do well with respectful children, but he can show signs of discomfort and will need an adopter who understands canine body language and can give him breaks.
• His response to cats and prey animals is unknown.

Ongoing Health

Prince was malnourished when rescued at two months old but has made an excellent recovery with nutritional support and has gained healthy weight. Continued dietary monitoring with a veterinarian is recommended. He is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. He will be tested for heartworm and related conditions before flying to Canada.

Training & Support

Prince's leash skills and house training are works in progress. He will benefit from a well-fitted harness, frequent potty breaks, positive reinforcement, and patient guidance as he adjusts to the world beyond the shelter. He is gentle, affectionate, and ready to continue building confidence.
