Cece - Shepherd and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Abbotsford, British Columbia

CeCe is a 6-year-old, 110-pound Shepherd mix, which means she is less a dog than a substantial residential presence with eyebrows. At this size, "Where's CeCe?" is rarely a serious question. There is CeCe. CeCe has acreage.

She was adopted from Take Paws as a five-month-old puppy and spent years being a deeply loved family dog. She's housebroken, trustworthy when left alone, spayed, vetted, and dog friendly with appropriate introductions. She even does beautifully at daycare, where apparently 110 pounds of woman can maintain an active social calendar while still preferring her home life decidedly un-chaotic.

And that is really CeCe's thing. She likes people. She likes dogs. She likes walks, comfortable afternoons, familiar routines, and the sophisticated pleasure of nobody suddenly shrieking while sprinting through the room holding a plastic dinosaur. She isn't bad with little kids. As she's gotten older, she simply prefers a quieter household, so adults or older kids would suit her best. Six and a half years of life have given CeCe discernment.

Thunderstorms make her nervous and vet visits are not currently on her vision board, but she manages with patience and, when needed, prescribed calming medication.

Mostly, CeCe is an enormous, gentle, wonderfully civilized girl who has already learned the complicated parts of being somebody's dog. She doesn't need a grand reinvention.

She needs a soft place to put all 110 pounds of herself and somebody delighted that there is so much CeCe to love.

And good grief, is there a lot of CeCe to love.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

The shepherd dog breed encompasses a versatile group known for their intelligence, loyalty, and strong work ethic. With a heritage deeply rooted in herding and protecting livestock, shepherds excel at various tasks ranging from obedience and agility competitions to search and rescue missions. Their protective nature makes them excellent family pets, offering unwavering devotion and a natural instinct to watch over and care for their loved ones. In addition to their remarkable abilities, shepherds are often characterized by their distinctive appearance, including a sturdy build, alert expression, and a signature double coat that provides insulation and protection in various climates.
