Cecilia, estimated to be 2-3 years old and weighing about 25 lbs, is a sweet, spunky Frenchie mix with a personality that truly blossoms once she feels safe and loved. She was found on a city street and never reclaimed. When she first arrived to a foster home, she was a bit unsure of herself, but it didn't take long for her playful, affectionate side to shine. She adapted quickly to a household routine and has lived successfully with other French Bulldogs and a 90-pound Cane Corso. She is respectful, social, and fit right into the pack with a naturally submissive personality. She is also wonderful with the three-year-old child in the home, always gentle, never rough, and very respectful of his space. Cecilia is a happy, healthy young dog who loves being part of a family and will reward you with endless love, loyalty, and plenty of smiles!
Ideal Home
Cecilia would do best in a home that understands breed-specific heat precautions, as she needs extra care during Georgia's hot summer months. She will do best with early morning or evening outings and plenty of indoor play, enrichment, and family time when temperatures rise.
Ongoing Health
Cecilia has a front limb varus deformity, which means her front legs are not perfectly aligned. Because of this, she distributes her weight differently than a typical dog, which can place additional strain on her wrists, elbows, and shoulders over time. Building strength through appropriate activity can help support her joints and improve her overall mobility. Maintaining a healthy weight, providing regular low-impact exercise, and avoiding excessive strain will be important to keeping her comfortable long-term. As with many dogs who have orthopedic differences, she may be more prone to arthritis as she ages.
Training & Support
To help protect her joints, her future family should discourage repeated jumping on and off furniture and beds and consider using pet stairs or ramps where appropriate. Her future family should be committed to helping her stay fit, strong, and healthy.
