![]() It was love at first sight! If there ever were two dogs that loved each other in our rescue, this was the pair. This went on until one day we put her in the yard with Clancy. She never showed any aggressions but also didn’t show any interest in playing. We took things really slow with her and I estimated that she might be the type of dog that would do best in a home with no other dogs. Billy and I were extremely cautious about introducing her to dogs because she had a lot of scars, was missing one of her toes and had tears on her ears that sure looked like the result of a lot of fighting. She had no connection to me or any of the dogs. He treated all of her open sores, fed her well and won her trust until she was strong enough to come and live at our kennel. Precious went to live with Dog Man for about a month. ![]() I was supposed to take her back but of course, we did not. He was really mad, telling me that if I planned on taking the dog back he would definitely report the owner. Covered in fleas and ticks, she cowered in the corner of the vet’s office as we waited for Dr. Shipps Animal Hospital run by the Amanda Foundation. She weighed about twenty pounds the day we walked into Dr. I went over to pick her up and what I found was poor Precious, with a huge pad lock chain around her neck, about 3 feet of heavy duty chain, attached to a tree trunk, no shelter, no water and apparently no food. We had received a call from her owner, asking for help getting his dog spayed. It’s been almost a year, coming up next month, that I rescued Precious from her chain in a back yard in South Central Los Angeles. Working with a dog like Precious, reminds me that every new dog needs time to adjust, get healthy and settle into our rescue before I make a judgment call about what each dog will be or not be.
