AN URGENT NOTE FROM
CELESTE:
My name is Celeste and I am
between 3-4 years old. No one is really sure what breed I am but I do
demonstrate quite a few Rottweiler characteristics. The other breeds
that compromise me are unknown but it is pretty clear that I am not a
Doberman. I am truly in a class of my own!
All of my life I have
wanted that place I could call home but I have never had it. Life has
always been a struggle and difficult. I look to every human face I see
with a plea: “Please take me home and love me” but no one does. I don’t
understand my purpose here. Like everyone else, I did not ask to be born
but I am here and I have feelings and a lot of love to give! Will no one
give me a chance?
I spent my early days being
mistreated and living on my own until I finally ended up in a shelter in
another state where I was scheduled for death because they were
overcrowded. A loving volunteer worked so hard to get me into this
rescue and here I sit, still waiting. Don’t get me wrong, I love all of
the volunteers who care for me and they all love me, but I want my own
home, the forever home I’ve always dreamed of and continue to dream of
although I am beginning to doubt that I will ever have it.
I love people and I’m fine
with cats but living with another dog is very difficult for me. When I
was on my own I learned to be very protective of myself when it came to
other dogs. Other dogs hurt me or took my food so I am defensive about
that. In foster I just basically ignore the other dog after I get used
to them but it is still better than I be an only dog. I am an eternal
puppy and that is how I keep my hope. I love to play. I will play ball
all day or if I am given toys I will keep myself pretty content. I am a
happy girl with a big smile and lots of sloppy kisses for my people. I
try to look on the bright side of life although life hasn’t offered me a
lot of bright sides.
All I am asking for is a
chance to be loved. All of you reading this must know someone who
doesn’t have a dog who might like a playful happy girl who is just the
right size: not too big, not too small. A girl with so much love in her
heart. A girl who’s heart aches and breaks for a real home. PLEASE. Tell
someone about me. People come to the rescue to look at all of the pretty
Dobermans and I stand there and say “Hey! Look at me! I have feelings
too!” Please help my dream of a home come true. Tell a friend about me.
I will hold on to my dream and keep waiting. I can be found waiting at

Thank you.
