Meet Cersei!

Cersei is one smart lady. She's always happy to show off her tricks for a treat or sometimes just because she can! It's clear she's had some training and enjoys putting those skills to use. She has a really nice, easy way about her. 

For someone hoping to adopt a non-pit, Cersei could be a wonderful option. She has that classic husky look but without the high energy part! Smart, playful and well-mannered, Cersei is an all-around great dog.

For more information on the many other dogs waiting patiently to be rescued, click HERE or visit their Facebook page: CACC Adoptable Pets. To learn more about fostering, click HERE.
