Prinny’s Happy Tail

Prinny, an adorable Chihuahua, found herself looking for a new home at the Nottinghamshire Rescue Centre due to a decline in her owner’s health. She arrived alongside five of her doggy siblings, but this little lady was now ready to go on her own adoption journey. 

A true lapdog, Prinny was happiest curled up on a comfy knee. She was dreaming of a home filled with comfort, love, and cuddles. She was in search of a quiet, calm environment where she could enjoy the little moments and, most of all, a human to spend her days with.  

Prinny found Craig, her perfect match in August 2024. Just over a year later, she has truly landed on her paws.  

Craig gave Prinny as much time and space as she needed to settle into her new home. This unfamiliar setting made Prinny nervous – for the first few weeks in her new home, she stayed safely by Craig’s side. People walking past the house frightened her, but as time went on she bravely ventured into the garden.  

Now, Prinny has become such a people person. Her favourite thing to do is sit on her mat by the back door and watch the world go by. The people and dogs outside her home that used to frighten her are now the highlight of her day! She’s always making her presence known in the garden, gladly accepting fuss from passersby.  

Over the past year, Prinny’s true personality has developed and shone through. This cheeky, playful girl is loved by all. Especially Craig’s parents, who are always greeted by lots of tail wags and kisses when they visit. From the vets to the groomers, everyone Prinny meets remembers her sweet nature and loveable personality.  

Home life for Prinny is pure joy. She enjoys spending her days playing ‘chase’ with Craig and then curling up on his bed like two peas in a pod at the end of the day.  

At a time when both Craig and Prinny were ready for a new chapter, our Meet&Match® process helped to form the special bond that these two share today. We’re so happy that this little girl found her forever home where she can truly shine.
