CeCe: The Sweetheart Who Weathered Every Storm Once upon a thunderstorm, there was a dog named CeCe-a 5-year-old Shepherd mix with eyes that seem to remember everything, and a heart that forgives it all anyway. Adopted as a chubby 5-month-old baby from Take Paws, she grew up loved, cherished, and devoted-proof that good girls don't finish last... unless life throws them a toddler. Now before you clutch your pearls, know this: CeCe isn't dramatic. She's just a connoisseur of peace and predictability. She loves people (especially ones who don't shriek and dart in zigzags), gets along well with other dogs after a proper "how-do-you-do," and absolutely shines at daycare-like the honor roll student who brought snacks for the class. She's housebroken, trustworthy when left alone, spayed, vetted, and has energy levels that match her spirit: calm mornings, cozy afternoons, and mild enthusiasm for evening strolls. She doesn't need chaos; she needs comfort. Thunderstorms make her anxious, vet visits ruffle her feathers-but with a little medicine and a lot of love, she manages gracefully, like a lady sipping wine through turbulence. When her home grew louder and smaller humans appeared, CeCe tried her best to adapt. But sometimes love means letting go-and her family, with another baby on the way, made the hardest and kindest choice they could. So now, CeCe is waiting once more-for someone gentle. Someone who believes that quiet love is still love at full volume. Because CeCe isn't starting over. She's simply continuing her story-and this time, she's hoping you'll be the chapter that finally feels like home. PLEASE READ BELOW: If you are interested in meeting and/or adopting, the first step is to complete an application and read all of our FAQs: https://www.takepawsrescue.org/adopt Please note: Information to determine if you might be a match for one of our animals can only be found on our application. *An inquiry, questions or introduction through Petfinder is NOT an application* All known details about our animals are posted on their profile and updated daily. Other info will be discussed in detail with the foster during the application review process. Due to the high volume of introductions/questions received we ask you to submit an application (that application can be used for any dog with Take Paws Rescue). The adoption fee for adult dogs covers age appropriate vaccinations, microchip, spay/neuter if not yet performed, heartworm test & appropriate heartworm treatment by the rescue's vet. All dogs in our care are also kept up-to-date on HW/Flea Prevention. For more on this, or for additional information, including the adoption process and our adoption fee scale for all our adoptable pets (including an explanation about Benefactor Dogs), please see our FAQs page: https://www.takepawsrescue.org/faq Any breed labels used by Take Paws Rescue, its employees/volunteers, or on vet records provided cannot be guaranteed. Breed labels are given based on information obtained during intake and/or best guesses based on appearance and/or temperament of the dogs and Take Paws Rescue gives no assurance to the accuracy of these labels. Labels are necessary for postings to many animal networking sites, such as our website, Chewy, Pet Finder, and others. These are in no way a guarantee. Additionally, exact age and potential size cannot be guaranteed. ***Take Paws Rescue saves dogs from high-kill shelters across the South, owner surrenders, and discarded dogs with uncertain futures. All of our animals live in foster homes where they are socialized, and well cared for. An application will be required to make sure it's the perfect match!
