Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. PRECIOUS, is a sweet 5-year-old Maltese-Terrier mix pup who weighs approx 8lbs.  Precious and her daughter- Sugar Bear were rescued from a 90 dog hoarding situation.  Precious is timid and cautious to start but warms up with trust. She was socialized prior to rescue and has been more socialized since being in rescue. Precious just spent the last 4 months in foster care and has really enjoyed having one on one with a person, a real home and a lap to hang out in. Her foster mom is spending much of the year traveling so Precious is back at the rescue and we really want to see her finally find a family of her own!  Precious is a love and once she trusts you she will be happy being held and sitting on a lap while you enjoy a movie or are resting. She would do well with retired folks and people who have time for her and are home a lot. Precious is not leash trained and may be trained to a lead but the outside world scares her, so she would do best having a little yard for you to take her out in and she can be trained for car rides. She is housebroken to washable peepads while she becomes comfortable with your fenced area for potty breaks. Precious will need patient adopters, a child free-cat free home and time to get used to all the newness of a new home. With love, care and gentle persistence she has learned to trust and love and will make an awesome companion. she needs dog savvy humans who will allow her to bond with them at her pace, which does not take long. Her favorite thing is having her butt scratched and being told how pretty she is. Precious is being fed a Human Grade and Raw food Diet and we would like her to stay on this or better homemade quality-Human Grade food for her health and longevity.  Precious has a donation fee of $495.00. All monies are recycled to save more dogs.
