A little about them

Prince is a 17-month-old, 13.4-pound Silky Terrier with a silver-and-tan coat. He is attentive, affectionate, gentle, playful, and devoted to his people. After a difficult start with limited attention and socialization, Prince has blossomed with support from his foster family and canine foster siblings.

He enjoys playing with other dogs, cuddling in a lap, and staying close to his favorite person. Prince is seeking a patient, loving home that can provide companionship, reassurance, consistency, and time to continue building his confidence.

Ideal Home

Prince needs a patient, loving home committed to helping him feel safe and confident. He thrives on companionship and would do best with adopters who can provide plenty of attention and reassurance. His rescue does not place dogs in homes with children under 5 and only adopts within the immediate Austin area.

Ongoing Health

Prince is up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, on heartworm preventative, microchipped, and neutered.

Training & Support

Prince was initially untrained after spending much of his early life confined to a crate, but he has made excellent progress with house training. He enjoys playing with canine companions and continues to gain confidence with patience and encouragement.
