Cece

My story

Hi… my name is Cece. I’m 3 years old and only 15 pounds, but sometimes it feels like the world is so much bigger than me. I didn’t have the easiest start — I came all the way from Louisiana, and a lot of things still scare me: loud sounds, fast hands, unfamiliar places. When people first meet me, I might shake a little or try to hide behind something small. It’s not because I don’t want to be loved… it’s just because I’m still learning how to feel safe. But I am -trying. Every day, I find a little more courage. I peek out from behind the blanket. I inch a little closer. I give a tiny tail wag when someone talks to me softly. That’s me being brave. I’m not the kind of dog who rushes up to strangers or barks for attention. I’m the kind who watches quietly, hopes gently, and loves deeply once you’ve earned my trust. What I dream of most is a calm, quiet home — with someone who understands that bravery doesn’t always look loud. Sometimes, it’s just a tiny dog taking one step forward instead of hiding. If you’ve got a kind heart, a soft voice, and the patience to let me bloom, I promise you… I’m worth the wait. With love, (and a tiny tremble), Cece :)
