Precious Labrador Retriever & Shepherd Mix Dawson, GA

This is Precious - a lab/shepherd blend around 2 years old. She and 7 other dogs (including King who is also for adoption) were confiscated by animal control for cruelty and neglect. All 8 dogs were living on chains with no access to water or shelter and were basically fed only sporadically. We have "before pictures" of her -she was absolutely nothing but skin and bones when she came in -she was also full of worms and fleas. After being treated for both and being fed multiple times a day a nice steady diet, she is now down to just one meal a day and is healthy and ready to be adopted! Precious is very sweet -she can be a little timid at first but once she comes out of her shell,, she is very affectionate and gives kisses. She is good with other dogs but will likely always need to be fed separately from other dogs. After nearly starving to death, it is understandable that she would resource guard. We also would not recommend a home with small children -she loves people of all ages however, when it comes to food, she will likely always have to be monitored. It could be something she gets over in time but we do not know. What we do know is that she deserves a home that will properly care for her and love her the way she will love you. She is up to date with shots, spayed, negative for heartworms/on prevention, and crate trained.
