Celeste's Story

1. PLEASE NOTE: <br/>Breed mix info is the best guess of Bark Bark Wag and our vets. There is no way to know for certain what any dog's breed mix is without a DNA test.<br/><br/>2. MUST READ --THE FIRST STEP: <br/>Go to www.barkbarkwag.org and click on "Let's Get Started!" to learn about our easy 3-step adoption process & apply to adopt! ANSWERS TO MOST QUESTIONS CAN BE FOUND HERE! We are all volunteers with limited time to respond to emails; if your question involves something NOT addressed at "Let's Get Started!", we will respond ASAP!<br/><br/>APPLICATION & INFO:<br/>https://barkbarkwag.org/adopt.html<br/><br/>*WE NEED AN ADOPTION APPLICATION TO START THE PROCESS, THE SHORT PETFINDER QUESTIONNAIRE IS *NOT* AN ADOPTION APPLICATION*<br/><br/>CELESTE<br/>Sweet Miss Celeste is an affectionate, playful, 12#, 10-month-old Shih-Tzu mix who's a bit shy meeting new people. Celeste trusts people who use gentle words and baby talk, and who show lots of loving affection. She has some 'stranger danger', and would do best in a quieter home with less visitors. Celeste loves to give tiny licks to her person for affection, and comes over often to check in for reassurance. Celeste will sit on your lap for long periods of time; and if you stop petting her, she will nudge your hand or lick you in hopes you will start again. Celeste is a "bark announcer" of people and sometimes noises she isn't familiar with. She enjoys carrying her stuffies around in her mouth and also gathering them up in her crate. Celeste loves her crate and feels safe there, so a kind, loving family who will let her access the crate for however long she needs it would be great. Celeste will need more than one meet and greet to become comfortable with her new family; she has had some changes in her life, and is slow to trust new people or dogs (but once she's comfortable, she does warm up and is fine with both). Celeste would love a similar-sized doggie housemate who enjoys chase and light wrestling. It is adorable and fun to watch her try to initiate play with her puppy play-bows, running and booty bumping. Celeste would do best in a family who has dog experience, and can give her the love and time she needs to continue growing. Celeste is working on her potty training skills, and has not learned to ask to go out yet; her new family will need to continue taking her outside every 3-4 hours for more frequent potty breaks. <br/>She is a sweet and playful girl who never got the love, care or support she needed as she grew; so we're working to help her build confidence and learn that she will always be loved and safe. Celeste is a charming girl who will be a wonderful family member!<br/><br/>Celeste is learning about the sights and sounds in her foster home, and she's hoping to find a family of her own! <br/><br/>Adoption preference will be given to families who plan to attend positive reinforcement manners classes with their new pup!<br/><br/>A certificate will be provided by the Rescue upon request toward spay/neuter at 6 months of age, redeemable at Doctor Paws Veterinary Hospital in Ypsilanti, MI.
