Celia

8 years | Bichon mix

A brave former breeding dog discovering what real comfort and patience feel like.

Their story

Why this pet matters.

Meet Celia, an 8-year-old Bichon mix being fostered for Little Red Barn Dog Rescue. Celia was used for breeding and is now learning how to live her life like a real dog. Her poor vision does not stop her from exploring the yard and using her nose to find all the different smells. With a slow approach, she will accept pets and, at times, even lean into it. She is a huge foodie, so treats are the way to win this precious girl's heart. Celia would love a home with another dog to help boost her confidence.
