**If interested in adopting, please go to http://www.petfinder.org/shelters/AZ74.html for information on how to adopt. Super sweet dog. Her whole life is you and being your right hand man. (Er...girl). Cissy bug is a 90 pound 5 year old. She is a HAPPY, VERY ENERGETIC and PLAYFUL girl who is happiest when you're around. She loves to play with dogs and plays well with bigger dogs, since they can keep up with her size. She LOVES TOYS (they must squeak...this is a preresquisite!!) and rawhide bones. She jumps three feet up in the air to catch a ball. She loves to go for car rides and looks absolutely silly in the passenger seat like a big person. She is a very clingy soul that has been a little confused since her "family" moved and left her in the backyard to fend for herself! Cissy is a sensitive soul who remembers being abandoned and always wants to be where you are...we'd like to see her in a home where you have time to lavish her with a lot of love and attention the first two weeks, if not more, and really bond with her, to help her with her anticipated elevated anxiety at being in a new place. Someone who is stay-at home or works very limited hours is ideal for her. Cissy is spayed and is up to date on all of her shots...plus she's microchipped. SHE IS HOUSETRAINED to a "t" and USES THE DOGGY DOOR (11"x7") in her foster home, although it is a tight squeeze for a big dog. She's GREAT WITH CATS (what's a cat?) Cissy is a girl who has seen sadness in her life, but because of a caring neighbor who saw that she'd been abandoned, she is now looking for a better, forever home. She's also SMART; I taught her how to sit in a few minutes and she listens very well. She LOVES TO SWIM and would love a home with a POOL, but love is more important. She would do best with older kids simply because of her size. She has no bad habits...no chewing, no digging, etc., barks only at unknown people. She doesn't just go out in the backyard and bark for the heck of it. She just needs love to complete her life. Cissy also needs meds that cost only about $10-15 (depending on where you get meds from) a month to control incontinence which is not an illness, but a condition; the meds completely take care of it (no leaking) and she is 100% housebroken. Please don't let that stop you from being interested in a loyal dog! She also has beautiful white sparkling teethies and a very cute white blaze on her chest!! If you think you would have the patience and love to help her through her anxiety of being in a new place, please go to www.fortheluvofdogz.petfinder.org and fill out an adoption prescreening form....it's so easy! YOU MUST BE ABLE TO KEEP CISSY FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE THROUGH WHATEVER LIFE THROWS YOUR WAY....MOVING, MARRIAGE, DIVORCE...ANYTHING!! Cissy must not be abandoned again. She is a little person and a commitment for life! Arf!! Thanks from Cissy Bug! |
