My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

*SPECIAL NEEDS - PLEASE READ FULL BIO*

Celyn!

Celyn joined us on December 30, 2023, and we were thrilled to ring in the new year with her. We hoped her stay would be short, but sadly, this sweet girl has been waiting almost 9 months for her forever home. Celyn is a unique and special pup—she’s deaf and partially blind, which sadly causes her to be overlooked time and time again. 💔

✨ Age: 1 year old
🤫 Weight: About 45 lbs—truly the perfect size!
🐶 Breed: Catahoula Mix (or as we like to call her, a Spotted Secret Keeper)
👃 Special Abilities: SUPER Scenter! Celyn can sniff out anything—her favorite volunteers, a meal, or treats on the way. She may not hear with her ears, but she hears with her heart. ❤️
🏃‍♀️ Dreams: Celyn wants to run track in the 2028 Paralympics! We haven’t told her yet that the Olympics are only for humans. 🤫
⚡ Activity Level: Pretty high—she loves to run in the play yard and zoom around with her doggy friends.
🧸 Toys: BIG fan! She’s happy tossing toys to herself or playing with friends.
🍖 Treats: Treats are life!
🥾 Love hiking? So does Celyn! Her disabilities don’t slow her down—she enjoys long hikes with her active volunteer buddies.
💬 Need a secret keeper? Celyn’s your girl. She can’t hear your secrets, so she’ll never spill them!
🐱 Cats? She hasn’t been tested, but we’re happy to try if someone applies for her!
🐕 Dogs? Celyn is a social butterfly and loves her dog pals.
👧 Kids? She does amazing at events and loves meeting kids of all ages! She might get a little in your bubble while sniffing everyone out, though.
🏡 Ideal Family? Active, patient, and excited to train a special-needs dog.

Even though Celyn is focused on her Olympic dreams, she will need her family to also be willing to train her as well. Deaf dogs are amazing creatures and are easily trained, often with things like hand signals and other training techniques. Obviously even more care than usual should be taken to make sure she does not accidentally get out off leash as she cannot hear you calling her back and can't hear dangers like cars coming. She may also be partially visually impaired. She does so well, it is really hard to tell!

For the boring stuff: Celyn is crate trained and has been working hard on her housebreaking. She prefers going potty off-leash and would benefit from having a yard where she can roam and find some privacy for her bathroom breaks. 🚽 We all need a little alone time, right?

She’s been sniffing for her forever family for far too long. This sweet girl is ready to find her home and start her journey to the 2028 Olympics in LA. 😉

Celyn's adoption fee includes her spay, age appropriate vaccinations and microchipping. She is up to date on deworming and preventatives.
