About Celeste

Celeste is a striking young pup, eager to find an adults-only home where he can truly flourish. At just eight months old and weighing 52 pounds, he's set to grow into a big boy. His smooth tan coat, accented by a black muzzle and matching ears, makes him quite the looker. Celeste came to the shelter feeling scared, but he has since built friendships and is becoming more social every day. He needs a patient owner to continue his training and help him reach his full potential. Celeste has lived with other dogs before, so if you have a furry companion, it’s best for them to meet before he joins your family. If you’re into outdoor adventures, this is your guy! With a little time and positive reinforcement, Celeste is sure to become an incredible companion. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
