About Celia

Our lovely Celia is a real heartbreaker. This pretty lady was found as a city stray in Brooklyn, New York, and appears to be what shelter workers call a 'throwaway mama,' a dog that has been repetitively bred for-profit and then cast aside. Animal Control Officers brought Celia to NYCACC, where she was treated for dehydration and malnutrition. Celia was quick to catch the shelter virus cocktail, and we were asked to take her to our Rescue to restore her health and vitality. Clearly our Celia has a few miles on her, and appears to be about 6 years old with mammary development consistent with having produced several litters of young uns'. Now she has been spayed, and she's ready to live her life in the lap of luxury with folks who will spoil her rotten! Celia truly has one of the most lovely, gentle Bully Breed temperaments that we have ever seen. She appears to be a tricolor Staffordshire Terrier, mixed with perhaps some Rottweiler. Despite her formidable breed mix, Celia has a bit of whimsy about her. She could join any kind of home, she fits in anywhere, and has easily adapted to our wild and crazy foster home. Celia has great pack manners and gets along with all kinds of other dogs, even ones that try her patience. We surmise that she may even be good with cats. Six years old, Celia's 'mothering' days may be over, but she has alot of life and love to share with an openhearted family. Her energy level is moderate, and she doesn't require the excessive amounts of energy that most Bullies do. She is extremely gentle, and walks well and lead. She doesn't jump up on folks, and is very gentle with older children. Celia is happy to relax with her person, and this makes her a good choice for laid back folks, seniors, apartment dwellers, or first time Bully owners. Celia is extremely food motivated, and an excellent candidate for positive reinforcement obedience training. She loves her obedience workouts, and his mastered all of her commands. While she is an excellent student, Celia is not above throwing herself at the ground, and begging for belly rubs right in the middle of a training session. Celia loves people and constantly craves human attention. Celia has good house manners and is house trained and crate trained. Adopters should expect to troubleshoot the occasional accident that will inevitably occur during her transition to a new home. She is in excellent health, and is at an ideal lean body weight of 50 pounds. She is spayed, and has been vaccinated for Rabies, DHLPPC (distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis parvo, parainfluenza and coronavirus.) and canine flu. She has been boostered as needed. She has had the 4dx test, and is negative for heartworm, lyme, earlichia and anaplasmosis. She has been dewormed, and microchipped.
