Meet Precious

Precious-Precious is a 4 year old Jack Russell/possibly Italian Greyhound mix. Her family had her since she was 6 months old, but they said between school and work they were not giving her the attention she needs and deserves so they brought her to STAF. Poor Precious was so depressed. But with the love (she’s hard not to love:)) and attention of the STAF volunteers, Precious perked up quickly and began to be OK with STAF as her new home and the volunteers as her new family.

Precious has the energy typical of a Jack Russell (and the jumping skills as well:)), but although she has a lot of energy there is nothing this girl loves more than to sit and cuddle and beg for belly rubs. Precious is great with children and is good with other dogs. This bouncy little thing is a favorite at daycare and loves to play with all the dogs. She loves car rides and getting brushed. Precious is wonderful on leash and has an energetic and springy step in her stride that just makes you smile. The spring in her step allows this tiny girl to jump quite high and like any JRT-mix she needs to be watched around the fence (JRTs can really jump and climb) as well as open doors. Because of her escaping abilities and for her safety, Precious will do best in a home with children 10+ years old.

Some great feedback on Precious after attending an event with a volunteer: “Precious was absolutely wonderful during the event and she was very popular. She was not scared or afraid, was excited to meet everyone that came her way, giving kisses to most:). I walked around the convention center with her and even when some dogs were barking at her, she did not bark back. She was really a pleasure throughout the event. I think she was tired at the end. She was great in the car - seems like she loves car rides.”

Although she is part puppy-princess, Precious is very easy-going and it really doesn’t take much to make her happy. A home to show her love and patience along with playtime and exercise and this Precious-pup will love you to the moon and back.

Precious’ estimated birth date is October 2014
Precious will need: A home that understands the exercise/fence height needs of a JRT
Precious will love: Another dog to play with in the home and positive based training


Please see our homepage for visiting hours and adoption details.

All of our animals are spayed/neutered and current on shots.

Visit our website www.staf.org to download our application.

We do not do same-day adoptions; we ask that you return for a follow-up visit before taking an animal home.

You must be 21 years or older to adopt a dog from STAF

We require a physical fence for homes with children under the age of 11. We also may require a physical fence for specific dogs on a case-by-case basis, depending on each dog's behavior and exercise needs.

Invisible fences - Due in part to increasing coyote activity/incidents in the area and the difficulty of predicting how a dog will respond to invisible fence training--we cannot adopt to homes with invisible fences unless otherwise noted in a dog's online profile.

We do request vet and personal references.

At this time, we are only able to consider applicants within 75 miles of Cincinnati.

Can’t adopt but want to help? You can make a difference! Our shelter is run entirely on volunteer-power and generous donations from animal-lovers like you. 100% of your contribution goes directly to caring for our 500+ furry residents. Thank you for your support.
