Precious is a medium-sized, adult terrier mix with a short, harlequin, white, and black coat who carries every bit of her past with grace. She’s affectionate, loyal, and gentle—quirky, funny, and independent, but also protective when it matters. Most days, Precious is content to cuddle on the couch or nap in bed, but she also loves car rides and will stick close to her favorite person (usually a man) just to watch what’s going on. She appreciates a quiet home environment and isn’t bothered by cats or kids, but really prefers being the only dog in a calm household. She’s dog selective and can become fearful or reactive, especially if overwhelmed or startled, so potential adopters should be prepared to give her patience and understanding. Precious has dealt with more than her share of hardship—physical neglect, confinement, and abuse—but in her foster home, she’s blossomed. She enjoys outdoor play in short bursts, walks nicely with a harness, and responds well to basic commands. She’s crate trained, uses potty pads indoors, and will also signal to go outside. Food should be given separately; Precious does best with feeding routines that avoid resource guarding and stress. Late mornings are her favorite, and she’d thrive with an adopter who likes a slower pace, quiet companionship, and isn’t looking for a high-energy dog. With trust, Precious forms deep bonds and becomes a devoted presence, ready to be part of a loving, indoor family. Precious is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and current on parasite prevention. She deserves the peaceful and affectionate home that’s always been out of reach for her. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
