12 Days of Pawlidays: Precious
What is 12 Days of Pawlidays?
This holiday season, make a difference by helping a long-stay pet find the loving home they’ve been waiting for. From December 12–23, we’re spotlighting a different animal each day, giving them a chance to shine as the star of the day. These incredible pets have been patiently waiting for their perfect family, and now it’s their turn to find happiness. Best of all, on their special day, their adoption fees are completely waived—meaning it costs $0 to bring home a lifelong friend and brighten their holiday season.
Precious is a bundle of energy and charm wrapped in a beautiful husky mix package. Weighing in at a healthy 49.2 pounds, she has a playful spirit that captures the hearts of everyone she meets. But like many young dogs, Precious needed some help refining her manners to become the best version of herself. That’s where Pets In Need’s board and train program stepped in—and the results have been nothing short of incredible.
Meet Precious:
A New Start for Precious
Precious came to us when her previous owner could no longer care for her. Despite her uncertain beginnings, her warm personality and eagerness to learn shone through right away. It was clear she had the potential to become an exceptional companion with a little guidance.
Training Tailored for Success
To help Precious reach her full potential, we enrolled her in a comprehensive board and train program. This immersive experience allowed her to work closely with professional trainers who taught her essential skills, reinforced positive behaviors, and helped her build confidence in various social settings.
The training focused on channeling her youthful enthusiasm into polite interactions. Precious learned to control her excitement, particularly when meeting new friends (both human and canine). Her trainers also worked diligently to help her master foundational commands like “sit,” “stay,” and “come,” as well as curb her habit of jumping when she got too excited.
The Results: A Behaved, Balanced Precious
Thanks to the board and train program, Precious has transformed from an overly enthusiastic puppy into a well-mannered young dog. She still has her fun-loving personality but now approaches situations with greater composure. Whether it’s a walk in the park, playtime with friends, or meeting potential adopters, Precious knows how to showcase her best behavior.
Life After Training: Thriving in Foster Care
Precious is currently thriving in her foster home, where she continues to practice her newfound skills. Her foster family reports that she’s a quick learner, eager to please, and loves showing off her training progress.
Her ongoing socialization experiences are helping her grow even more confident, and she’s ready to bring all her love, loyalty, and good manners into a forever home.
