Terrier for adoption from Hearts United for Animals - national no-kill animal shelter, sanctuary and animal welfare organization.

Celine

Celine lead a meager, terrible existence in an awful Missouri puppy mill for almost the entire first decade of her life. You can see the wear on her body and her soul. She survived her many cruel hard years as a prisoner, being bred over and over until her body could no longer take the abuse. Fortunately Celine was released from her hell on earth and has come to know what it is like to be loved and cared for, just as she loved and cared for the scores of pups she produced over the years only to have them taken away and trucked off to pet stores to be sold to whoever had enough money to make the purchase. Celine is a humble, quiet girl. She adores being held. You can see the hurt in her eyes melting away and the pure enjoyment she gets from loving human contact. Celine is so grateful for every small thing that a typical dog would take for granted. She loves her big spaces that she shares with the other dogs, and all of the blankets and beds, and for the first time in her life she is healthy and enjoying proper nutrition. Celine would be an easy dog to have. She is unassuming and full of love and gratitude. Celine has one micro-eye (smaller than the other one). It does not bother her or effect her vision.

Celine is a female terrier. She was born in 1999 and weighs 10 pounds.

Celine is so happy that she has Buddies!

Her Buddy, Inger Toksvig, from Copenhagen, Denmark, sent her this message: "Dear little Celine, I wish you all the love in the world for the rest of your life. I wish I could forgive the humans who made you suffer all those years, but I cannot. May your forever family be just around the corner. Long distance hugs from your Buddy in Copenhagen, Denmark" Celine sends many happy, grateful kisses to Inger.

Her Buddies, Karen Hoffman and Tige, from Lincoln, Nebraska, sent her this message: "Dear Precious Celine~Welcome to Heaven, little one! That is surely how you must feel, coming from where you've been!! You are always in the presence of Angels at HUA, and I know that an Extra Special One has taken you upon her lap and under her Angel Wings--Jenny! May you forevermore feel the true meaning of being loved and treasured, the way you should have been from the very beginning! I hope that you will become a member of a human family, and that you become the link of making their family whole and complete! I love you Dear, Dear Celine! Karen Hoffman & Tige" Celine sends Karen and Tige many happy, grateful kisses and tail wags.

Hearts United for Animals is a national no-kill shelter, sanctuary and animal welfare organization. Hearts United for Animals does long distance adoptions if there are safe flights and we have volunteers in the area to do a home visit. We require an application, references and a home visit to adopt one of our dogs. Our dogs are all spayed or neutered and are current on health care. We can cat test a dog if requested. We can give you more information on each dog if you click on the adoption link below. If you are interested in adopting a dog, please click on the adoption link below. Buddies are people who help support the dog and send them love while they are waiting for their new home. The dog does not live with the Buddy.
