What kind of home would be best for me? Precious, like her BFF Ginger, is a middle-aged girl who’s looking to spend the best years of her life in a home that can provide them a calm and caring home They need owners that will be home most if not all day and will be attentive to them always. Both Precious and Ginger are taking a while to adjust to living here at CPR because they are used to living in a house and being pampered and loved on constantly. They are looking for a forever family that can once again, provide them with that life that they are accustomed to. They need a calm home. They will do well in either an apartment or house.
What is my personality like? Precious and Ginger have warmed up considerably since first coming to us, but both are still apprehensive about their surroundings. Their personalities will shine once they are safely lodged in their new forever home. Precious takes her cues from Ginger, who the more confident of the two girls. Neither girl will rush to meet you or jump on you. Both love any affection being shown to them.
How do I act when I first meet new people? Precious is far more wary than Ginger. She loves pets and attention paid to her, but she takes longer to warm up to people than Ginger. The best way to have Precious warm up to you is to first have Ginger warm up to you. Once you take a few minutes sitting on the floor Ginger will end up in your lap. When Precious sees you petting Ginger, she too will come in for pets. Precious loves chin scratches and scratches between her hips will freeze her in place with a big smile on her face.

House trained? Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule as long as a physical reason doesn’t keep them from being trained. A dog house trained in my home may not be in yours. We will help you teach your new dog this necessary skill and based on your schedule.
