Ceasar is an apartment sized jet black dog with a smooth shiny coat, floppy ears and a sweet puppy face. The amazing Ceasar already knows many commands like sit, down, paw and lay. Are you wondering how the great Ceasar ended up here in a shelter? Well its kind of a sad story but here you go: One day Ceasar was living the good life in a home with his dog sidekick Bear. They ate dog food and went for walks, but sadly the tide turned when their owner lost his
job. Food got a little scarce and there wasn’t much to eat around the house. Eventually the great Ceasar and his sidekick Bear were told they would be better off at the shelter looking for new homes.
Ceasar is not too sure about this new place. He was nervous at first about being handled by strangers, but eventually he rolled on his back and took some pets. He had no food issues and didn’t show much interest in toys yet. He met some other dogs and was a little pushy
with them. We know Ceasar lived with another dog before though, so he could likely do so again with slow introductions. Ceasar is an adult dog with a lot of love left to give. Please come meet Ceasar today
