Cecelia

ARE YOU MY PERSON? Approx. 3 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. I take some time to warm up to new people, so I was very stressed at the shelter. I am now in a foster home and doing great there. I am learning to feel safe and work through some of my fear of new people, especially men. I am looking for someone who will be patient and trust that I will blossom once I really get to know you.<br/><br/>• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I would like to be your only dog, as I tend to guard my person from other dogs in a home setting. However, I can enjoy walks or even a day trip alongside another dog, as long as they’re respectful and not looking for playtime - I’m just not a fan of the “paws in my face” kind of play. / Cats unknown. / Mostly Mutts recommends calmer kids 15 and older due to my fear challenges with new people, so let’s meet.<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 men, but once I really trust you, man or woman, I will crawl in your lap because I think I am a lap dog! Until I trust you, reaching over my head or grabbing at me, or grabbing my collar scares me, so a snap is my way of warning. Please give me time to come to you and don’t rush me. I was labeled high energy from my previous home, but my foster family says I am the perfect housemate. / 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. Let's continue my training together with the free lifetime training classes that Mostly Mutts offers for all their adopted dogs! / My crate manners are good. / My potty manners have been good at Mostly Mutts and wonderful in my foster home. <br/> <br/>• LIKES/DISLIKES: I like to be with people that I trust - my favorite thing is sitting in your lap once I trust you. I like treats and tennis balls, and I’d benefit from a fenced yard in my new home as I don’t like strangers. After some playing, I love to snuggle up to my people and relax. I also love car rides, and I sit quietly in the back seat! / I am looking for someone or a couple that doesn’t like to have company. But if someone does come over, I am happy to go to my kennel so you can visit, and I don’t have to be a part of it. <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 of being rehomed. Once I have settled into my new home, I should be able to be weaned from both meds. For now, I feel it’s helping me, so just ask how it’s going. <br/><br/>I am looking for a great home with someone who wants to help me continue to trust. I really do want it!! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
