Cecelia

LEARNING TO TRUST AGAIN: Approx. 2 years old / Approx. 37 lbs.<br/><br/>Hi, my name is Cecelia! I was adopted from Mostly Mutts and returned after about nine months. When I came back, I was very shut down and scared - very different from how I was before. The kind trainers and volunteers here are helping me feel safe, understand the world around me, and work through some of my reactions to new people, especially men. I’m trying hard and making progress, and I’m hopeful for a fresh start with a family who will help me continue to blossom.<br/><br/>• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I did well with the dogs I met at Mostly Mutts previously and my former owner reported that I liked the dogs I met while I was with them. I also lived with a dog there, so if you have a dog already, let’s meet! / Cats unknown. / Mostly Mutts recommends calmer kids 15 and older due to my fear challenges with new people, so let’s meet. I did love the kids I met when I was previously with Mostly Mutts. <br/><br/>• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: My whole body wags with joy when I get to spend time with the volunteers that I’m comfortable with. I do have stranger danger challenges at first, mainly with light-skinned men, and women are my favorite people, but once I really trust you, man or woman, I’ve been great! Reaching over my head or grabbing at me, like grabbing for my leash or collar scares me, so a snap is my way of warning that I’m afraid, but I have not had any bites. Please give me time to come to you and don’t rush me. Some daily exercise, games, and chew toys to keep my energy focused in the right direction is always fun. I alert bark at new noises or people coming into the room, but respond well to the ‘leave it’ command. I got to go on a day trip recently and did great in the car and enjoyed walking around a nice quiet nature park, sniffing all the things and happily watching all the squirrels. / My energy level is 4-6. <br/><br/>• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I'm in the Mostly Mutts University training program and have already mastered the ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘come’, ‘leave it’ and ‘drop it’ commands and I look forward to learning more. / My potty manners have been good at Mostly Mutts and my former owner reported that I had good potty manners too. / I haven’t been in a crate at Mostly Mutts as I get to stay in one of the little rooms at the shelter. <br/> <br/>• LIKES/DISLIKES: I like to be with people that I trust and that make me feel safe - my favorite thing is sitting in your lap and resting my head on your shoulder – so precious! I like treats and the play yard at the shelter is awesome, and I enjoy running around and having fun there. I’d benefit from a fenced yard in my new home, where I can do the same with you. After some playing, I love to snuggle up to my people and relax. I like riding in the car, too. / I don’t like walking in areas that have heavy traffic or too many crowds. I wouldn’t want to live in a home where a lot of new people came in or if I was rushed into new relationships as I just need time to trust people. I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, exercise, and training from those that I trust and love.<br/><br/>• MEDICAL: I'm current on vaccinations, micro-chipped and spayed. I’ve started a medication called Fluoxetine and Xanax to help with the stress and anxiety I’m feeling and it’s helping. Just ask how it’s going. <br/><br/>I am looking for a great home with an active and loving furever family that will treat me with love and kindness! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
