Cici's here!

Poor Cici's had a rough break in life. She was adopted from a breeder that needed to downsize, but unfortunately after having lived in her new home for a few years Cici and the other resident female started fighting, and it only escalated to the point of them drawing blood and Cici's owners realized it wasn't a happy situation for either of them. They were heartbroken to let her go, but they feel that Cici deserves a home without the stress of always fighting...

She got along fine with the other two dogs in the home, a male Boston Terrier and a young male Saint Bernard, it was only the female Boston terrier that she didn't get along with. She met with our three dogs this afternoon, they met one at a time on neutral ground and they all did fine. We are being very careful since we have two females, but so far they have all been getting along just fine.


She went for a long walk with our male downtown today and she did great! She was very good on the leash, some slight pulling but she relaxed quickly, greeted people nicely and calmly, she greeted other dogs nicely and didn't seem bothered by distractions. In the house she has been doing fine also. She has been getting along with our dogs fine, although we keep a very close eye on them. She had an accident, but that is very common within the first day, she is stressed and confused, I'm sure she will get used to the routine and be completely housebroken in no time.

We were also told that she is afraid of strange men, but she did come right up to my husband, and was very good while on the walk. She is shy with new people and a bit standoffish, but with proper socialization and regular walks she should be good in no time...


She is very quiet and laid back. A low energy dog that likes to lay around and take it easy most of all. She loves people although she's a bit shy at first. According to her former owners she loves kids. She does chase cats but would never intentionally hurt a cat. She would make a wonderful easygoing couch potato for the right home, as an only dog or with another laid back male dog.

Last year when owner went to vacation, Cici and their other female BT were kept in a one kennel and they got into fights. Since than 2 females are not getting along and fights are getting worse. Owner has other dogs and she gets along with them fine. Cici is been with the owner for past 4 years and never had any issues with the other female until the vacation. Cici is fine with other dogs, she meets on her walks.

Please consider Cici. She is a great dog, who loves her people and wants to be with them.
