About Celeste

Meet Celeste, an endearing hound mix who's quickly become a shelter favorite thanks to her sweet demeanor and gentle spirit. Recently featured as an NFL puppy pick on KSN 16's Living Well, she's not just charming but also comes with a bag of goodies for her future adopters. Celeste is still figuring out her table manners and needs to be fed separately, especially if you’re concerned about resource guarding; staff at the shelter can provide guidance. She's playful, enjoys gentle games, and finds comfort in cuddling up on a warm lap. The shelter observes her with other dogs, testing her in a group, and dog meet-and-greets are encouraged to ensure harmony. Behavioral observations can shift, so keep in mind that the shelter setting only presents a snapshot of a dog's behavior. Transitioning to a new home can be a challenge for Celeste, and it's advised to use the Rule of 3 when introducing her to her new environment. Celeste is spayed and up to date on vaccinations, eagerly waiting to bring joy and love to a new family. If you think she might be the right fit for you, consider making her your newest companion. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
