Prima Donna is the kind of dog that turns an ordinary day into a good one the second she walks into the room. With her adorable squishy smoosh face, wrinkles for days, and out-of-this-world personality, she has a way of making people smile without even trying. She’s silly, full of joy, and completely devoted to her people. The type of girl who loves HARD and isn’t shy about showing it. Whether she’s making you laugh with her goofy antics or dramatically leaning into you for affection, Prima Donna has that rare feel-good energy that somehow makes everything around her better and she’s undeniably gorgeous. Watch her video and you’ll instantly realize your day just got 10x better because of her: Prima Donna is believed to be a pittie mix approximately 1 year old and currently weighs 58 lbs. She is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it’s always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. What she is without question is adorable, affectionate, and absolutely full of life. She’s got the best squish-worthy wrinkles, the cutest little bubble lip, and the type of giant pittie smile that makes it impossible not to smile back at her. Prima is truly joy on legs. Prima loves people. Like REALLY loves them. She’s the kind of dog who happily walks right up to say hi, asks for pets, leans in for cuddles, and wants to be near her humans as much as possible. Booty scratches? Yes please. Couch naps? Her favorite. Hugs? Absolutely. She’s social, affectionate, and would do great in a home that enjoys having visitors because Prima genuinely believes everyone is her friend. When it comes to playtime, Prima is ALL in. Toys are her thing! Stuffies, balls, tug toys, chew toys… she loves them all. She’ll happily play fetch, tug like a professional athlete, or entertain herself zooming around the yard when the mood strikes. She has that fun bouncy energy while also knowing how to settle down and fully enjoy a nap afterward. That love for people was also very obvious when Prima met a 5 year old little boy too. She was immediately affectionate, wanted to lean all over him for pets, happily took treats from him, and truly acted like she had made a new best friend LOL. Prima is just one of those dogs that loves BIG and with her whole entire body, which is adorable… but also means she has absolutely zero concept of personal space or spatial awareness sometimes. She’s built more like an enthusiastic wrecking ball of affection than a gentle dainty princess LOL. Because of her mouthy playful tendencies and her tendency to accidentally bulldoze people with love, we do think she would do best in a home with older kids that are comfortable around bigger bully-type dogs, can confidently set boundaries with her, and would actually enjoy her goofy rough-and-rowdy style of affection and play. Prima is dog friendly, does well walking by other dogs, and has participated in multiple playgroups. She brings full Beyoncé confidence into every group and struts around like she owns the place which is honestly hilarious to watch LOL. When she plays, she definitely has that classic bully-breed play style. Full body wiggles, body bumps, bouncy energy, and a little bit of mouthiness mixed in. Some of her favorite dog friends are goofy playful dogs that enjoy rowdy fun, aren’t bothered by her vocalness, and naturally know when it’s time for a break. In a home, Prima would probably pair best with a happy-go-lucky playful male that enjoys chase games, tolerates her silly roughhousing style, and also knows how to self-regulate during play. If you don’t have another dog though, that’s perfectly fine too! Prima absolutely does not NEED another dog to feel comfortable or confident. She’s naturally social, outgoing, and honestly would probably LOVE being the princess center of attention in your world LOL. She has also spent time with a cat and has done generally well! She will try to play chase every now and then but she does listen when her foster tells her "no" and with more training around cats, we do believe that she can co-exist in a home with dog savvy cats. When it comes to trainability and her wits, Prima is a smart little lady but if you know bully breeds then you already know they can have that hilariously stubborn little “selective hearing” streak sometimes LOL. There are definitely moments where she’s SO excited about life that her brain fully disconnects from her impulse control settings and suddenly she’s operating entirely on vibes. And when she’s in those goofy overexcited moments, she can definitely be pretty mouthy because in her mind everything is a game and everyone is her best friend LOL. The good thing is she responds really well to correction and absolutely listens when told “no,” she just occasionally needs those reminders that using her mouth as a form of affection is not exactly the preferred human method of showing love. Think toddler in a wrinkle suit with unlimited enthusiasm for life. Prima already knows how to sit, loves tasty treats, and may even know the “down” command too. She walks nicely on a gentle leader which helps her stay grounded and walking like a proper lady. She can get a little amped up at first because she LOVES walks and adventures, but she learns quickly and continues improving as she works on checking in with her handler and staying focused. She truly shines with structure, routine, and continued positive guidance. Want to know what would make Prima the happiest girl ever? A home with a big backyard, humans that enjoy being active and involved, and adopters that will continue helping her channel all that goofy lovable energy in positive ways. She’d love a yard to zoom around in, a couch to dramatically nap across, and people that want a loyal little shadow with a giant heart and endless personality. Prima thrives on companionship, fun, and connection and would be happiest in a home where she gets to feel included in everyday life.
