Available for Adoption: Precious
This is Precious. She’s only about 4 years old and has already had at least one litter. The good news is she got spayed shortly thereafter and I’m told she’s up to date on her vaccines. We have to confirm early next week.
She belongs to someone who got a divorce and couldn’t keep her at her new apartment so she gave Precious to her ex. She showed back up at the woman’s mom’s house about 6 weeks later, but is not the same dog.
She’s very emaciated and she now has some food aggression. She’s also quite nervous and skittish. She warmed up to me quite quickly and was very sweet and loved the attention. She kept her tail tucked and kept her eye on me, but she liked the gentle petting and soft words.
We had her on a leash and we brought out one of the other resident dogs also leashed. And she seemed really excited like she wanted to play and wanted to get to that dog. But when I allowed them to get close the first thing she did was nip. They’ve been keeping her separated from all the other animals which is a good idea but hard to do long-term. I’m just hopeful that there’s someone out there that has some resources to work with this sweet girl.
Precious has been around children her whole life as young as two and does great. Cats are an unknown but probably not a good idea. She just needs someone patient and sweet to her and kind.
If anybody has any ideas for this beautiful girl please let me know. She still has lots of weight to gain, she’s way underweight ribs sticking out and every vertebrae showing. Quite a few scars and wounds on her face which are heartbreaking. I’ll be calling her vet on Monday to see if I can get her records.
She is located in the Cortez, Colorado area. If you’d like to meet Precious please call 970-565-PETS and we will put you in touch with her people.
