Story
* 4 Little Paws is helping a local Animal Shelter by featuring a few wonderful dogs who have been patiently waiting to find forever homes!
Meet Celine! A pretty 4-year-old, 28 lb, Dachshund/Terrier mix with an immense love of fun and games! There is an infectious happiness radiating from her as she joyfully runs and hops about the yard as if she’s dancing.
Celine has overcome a challenging start to life, but she doesn’t let her past prevent her from living life to the fullest! She was one of 40 dogs rescued from a hoarding case where they roamed freely in a house, yard, and sometimes the streets. Despite her past, she is not the typical unsocialized dog you might expect. Sure, she can be a bit shy at first, but she warms up very quickly! A few encouraging words and gentle pets are all it takes to kickstart a bond that will grow stronger each day. It only takes a few days for her to begin a beautiful transformation into a playful, silly, and affectionate girl.
This girl is a master of making new canine friends, and becomes a lively and playful character during play dates! She approaches every dog with a playful spirit and gently engages them in a game of chase. Once the fun has been initiated, Celine joyfully darts around with an added cuteness of delightful hops as she takes turns being the chaser to the chased. She isn’t always graceful with her movements, occasionally jumping into her friends as she comically attempts to jump over them. Even getting knocked over doesn’t end the party for her, she just gets up and continues with the fun. Adding to her charm, she loves squeaking and tossing around toys! She will run gleefully with a toy clutched in her mouth, eyes gleaming with mischief, and enticing others to joy in on the fun.
She does amazing with kids and enjoys running and playing with them too! The more the merrier when it comes to living life to the fullest during playtime!
She does amazingly well on a leash considering she had never been exposed to one before arriving at our facility. Every once in a while, she will stop out of confusion about the leash, but a pat on the leg and gentle words of encouragement get her going again. She is making great progress in potty training. She tries to hold it until she can go outside and keeps her living area very clean. Although she has limitless energy while playing in the yard, she does appreciate cuddle time. She will happily sprawl out on the floor, snuggle up to you on the couch, or take over the bed as she recharges for the next adventure!
