Precious was brought to us from an animal shelter where she was surrendered, according to the shelter she had basically spent her life in a crate with little to no contact. She is very fearful at first and will roll over on her back in a submissive manner and is cautious about being petted but once she trusts you she is loving and tries to be a lap dog. It will take time and patience to make her understand she will not be hurt anymore but these kind of dogs make the best pets because they don't take your love for granted!
