Princess Peach is a 10-year-old Golden Retriever who has mastered the art of enjoying life’s simple pleasures. Give her a soft place to settle, a few good pets, a squeaky ball, and a duck-shaped toy, and this girl is happy.
Princess arrived at Unconditional after being surrendered to a high-kill shelter weighing 125 pounds—nearly 40 pounds above her healthy weight of approximately 85 pounds. Now, she is beginning an important new chapter as she works toward becoming healthier and more comfortable. Her journey will take time, but Princess is surrounded by the care and support she needs to take things one day at a time.
At heart, Princess is a mellow senior with a playful streak. She may not move at the same pace she once did, but she certainly hasn’t lost her appreciation for fun. Squeaky balls are a particular favorite, and a duck toy can bring out an especially happy girl.
One of Princess’s most endearing quirks is her paw. She loves having it held and will often offer it up as if to say, “Hold my hand.” It’s a small gesture that says so much about her gentle nature.
Princess doesn’t need a life filled with excitement. She is happiest taking things at her own pace, enjoying companionship, getting some affection, and settling in for a peaceful day. There is a wonderful sense of calm about her—the kind of dog who would happily spend an afternoon simply sharing the room with you.
After a difficult start to her senior years, Princess is finally getting the chance to focus on feeling better and enjoying the life ahead of her. She is looking for someone who will be patient with her weight-loss journey, embrace her slower pace, and give her the time and consistency she needs to thrive.
Most of all, Princess deserves to spend her golden years feeling safe, loved, and wonderfully spoiled. And with her favorite squeaky ball by her side and a paw ready to hold, she’s ready for the next chapter of her story.
