Precious

Meet Precious! She is perfectly named as she really is, well, precious! A beautiful catahoula leopard dog, she is a striking girl who loves to be touched and petted. Her ball is one of her favorite toys and she enjoys chewing and playing with it. Precious is partially deaf with some sight impairment and relies heavily on smell to help her navigate the world. She is friendly and very loving (once she gets to know you), she will lean in for hugs. Due to her partial-sightedness, care needs to be taken when approaching people and other dogs. Precious walks well on a leash, though she will pull when she gets a scent she wants to investigate! She also enjoys being in the car, and likes to travel with the windows down - feeling the breeze on her face. She may take a little help to get into the car, but once you get your rhythm down this works well. She is ok with other dogs when properly introduced. She definitely needs a home with *no* cats. This adorable girl will make a wonderful addition to a family with children over 10 years, couple or person who is willing to embrace her beautiful differences. Precious weighs about 55 pounds and stands 23" tall at her shoulder. *Please Note: Precious is currently being fostered by a wonderful dog trainer in Estacada, OR. Potential adopters would need to meet her in Estacada.
