About Precious ~ Staffy X (on trial 9/9/19)
Hi, my name is Precious and I’m a very cute female, 9 month old Staffy X. My foster parents aren't sure what I'm crossed with but I will probably end up being a small /medium sized dog. I have plenty of energy but love to snuggle up whenever I can. Initially I'm a bit shy with new people but once I get to know you we can be best friends.
My ideal forever home is one where I’m treated as a member of the family, and I’m welcome inside when people are home. I will need a fenced yard to explore and as I’m very dog friendly so a playmate would be fantastic.
I am house trained and will go outside to use the bathroom, I'm a quick learner as its in my nature to please my human friends. In my short time in foster care I’ve learnt to sit and wait patiently for my dinner and go to bed when my foster parents do. My foster parents have been quite strict with my diet. I have two meals a day with the occasional treats and this keeps my coat in perfect condition.
I will bark if I hear something unexpected or there is a commotion at the door, but if you tell me everything’s okay I settle down right away. I do have a habit of jumping up to greet you, which is almost unnoticeable with how gentle I am, but I’m quickly learning that I get more attention if I sit quietly at your feet. I'm still learning to walk on the lead but I learn quickly and I just need the practice. Training classes would be a good idea for me at the beginning so that I get some really good habits when out in public places and near traffic.
I wouldn’t be worried if you had to work away from home through the day, as long as I had a comfy place to lounge around on. I’d be very happy to be left with a bone. While I haven’t been tested off leash out in the world, my recall at home is very good and I come straight to you when you call me, especially if I think you have something tasty to share.
I would be better with older children as I do still jump up but have shown that I can be very gentle when playing . I’ve not met any cats or pocket pets during my time in foster care, so my parents aren’t sure how I would go with them. I’m still a bit shy around the car but once in and settled I will curl up and have a nap until we reach our destination. I’ve loved all the humans I’ve met, but I can’t wait to meet my new family. Will that be you? If so, please don’t wait to get into contact. I have so much love to give and can’t wait to start my life with you.
