Story
Meet Celia ❤️ foster Virginia Beach
Celia is a breathtaking 9-year-old Rough Collie with the gentle heart and sweet soul the breed is known for. She spent her younger years lovingly raising puppies, and she has been cherished throughout her life. Through no fault of her own, she now finds herself looking for one final family to love her through her golden years.
Simply put, there isn't a bad thing we can say about Celia. She is everything people hope for in a Collie and more. Gentle, affectionate, impeccably mannered, and endlessly kind, she still turns heads everywhere she goes. She has never met a stranger and doesn't have a mean bone in her body.
Celia is completely house trained, walks beautifully through the home, and loves spending time with her family. She enjoys the company of both large and small friendly dogs but does not require a canine companion to be happy. Despite living with arthritis, she still happily jaunts around the backyard, enjoys exploring the yard, and soaks up the sunshine. She is currently comfortable on Tramadol along with joint supplements to help manage her pain.
Because of her orthopedic needs, Celia is looking for a one-level home with a securely fenced yard where she can safely enjoy her outdoor time. Children should be 5 years of age or older so she can enjoy a peaceful retirement without being treated as a playmate for toddlers.
As a Rough Collie, Celia's beautiful coat requires lifelong maintenance. Applicants should be able to provide a grooming reference demonstrating regular professional grooming for their current or previous dogs. Celia also needs a patient groomer who understands senior dogs and is willing to work at her pace, allowing her to lie down and rest as needed during grooming appointments.
Celia is currently being fostered in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and preference will be given to applicants in Virginia Beach and the Hampton Roads area, with particular priority given to families located in Virginia Beach.
If you've been searching for that once-in-a-lifetime Collie who asks for nothing more than love, comfort, and a soft place to rest her head, Celia is waiting to meet you. She has spent her entire life giving love. Now it's her turn to simply receive it. ❤️🐾
