A Note from the Foster:
Tiny, loyal, and already house-trained. I’ll protect your heart and your doorway.
About Me:
Hi, I’m Celine, your future ride-or-die with four paws and a whole lot of personality. At just four months old, I’m already sleeping through the night, potty trained, and learning tricks like “sit” and “lay down” (because I’m gifted, obviously). I’ve got opinions, I’ve got cuddles, and I’ve got some serious shadow energy. If you move, I move. Simple as that.
What I bring to the table:
Crate-trained. I settle in calmly when you leave the house
Potty-trained and sleep-trained
Loves walks. I’ve learned from my foster sisters how to stay close, not pull, and keep pace like a polite little pro
Fast learner. I pick things up quickly and actually enjoy being taught new things
Cuddle connoisseur. I prefer to sleep in your bed or close by, especially if there are other dogs around
Tiny but mighty protector. I’ll alert you if someone unexpected shows up (even if it’s your niece at the doorway at 2 a.m.)
I love fetch, solo or with friends, and will proudly parade my ball like it’s a treasure
Take correction well from both dogs and humans… though I might talk back just a little before I follow through
Playful with other dogs, still building confidence with bigger ones
Loyal, expressive, and always by your side
Looking for:
Someone who sees the beauty in a smart, sensitive pup with a little sass and a lot of heart. I want to be your best friend, your walking buddy, your personal home security system, and your cuddle partner all rolled into one. If you believe dogs belong on the bed and in your life full-time, I think we might be meant for each other.
Let’s start out forever. I’ll even let you pick the first movie, as long as we can cuddle.
Love,
Celine — Petite Guard Dog. Big Spoon. Full-Time Best Friend.
Adoption Fee: $760 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
