A Staff member writes:

Ceno was staying with a neighbor for about a month after his owner was arrested, but when she could no longer care for him, she surrendered Ceno to BACC.  Ceno is a sweet twelve year old Staffie who looks dashing in a bowtie, and enjoys sunbathing in the yard.  He did very well on his SAFER, gets along with children, and has even lived with cats and other dogs!  Ceno likes to nuzzle his head into your lap to ask for pets, and I’m pretty sure he’ll make an excellent snuggle buddy!  Please help Ceno find a loving place to live out his golden years

A volunteer writes:  He may not have ears, but he’s certainly got charm…it’s Ceno!  It’s hard not to fall for this guy.  He’s chubby, wags his tail when you talk to him,  and utters deep demand barks from his cage if he notices you.  He waddles along on walks (never pulling) and is very quick to relieve himself (he seems very housebroken), but if I stop to talk to someone, or we have to wait on a traffic light, Ceno takes it upon himself to lie down!  He still wags his tail when I encourage him to get up, takes his time to do so, and off we go again until the next opportunity for a pit stop presents itself.  He seems content to watch the world go by and is friendly to everyone that stops to greet him.  He lets me pet him all over and closes his eyes and leans in when I stumble upon an out of reach itch.  He loves treats and if I catch him while he’s still on all fours, is happy to “sit” for them.  He seems calm and friendly when we’ve encountered other dogs and has previously lived them.  He is also reported to get along with children, and has lived harmoniously with a cat, too!  Food in his belly, love, cozy places to sprawl out, and I think Ceno will say life is good…and I know whoever gives him his retirement home will say life is so much better with him in it.  This sweet, sweet gentleman would love to meet you at Brooklyn ACC!

Ceno came into the care center as a stray, but lived with his finder for a month. It was stated that Ceno got along well with children and strangers, and he was also reported to live and get along well with the other dog and cat in the home. The finder stated Ceno is a quiet, shy and less active dog, and he was reported to be fully housebroken.

During SAFER Ceno was sociable, and solicited attention by muzzle nudging the assessor’s hands for petting. He maintained a relaxed body posture for all handling items, as well as the tag interaction. During the resources portion of the assessment Ceno was easy to handle when engaged with the food, allowing the assessor to easily push him out of the food bowl, and he was not interested in the toys or rawhide items. When approaching the helper dog during the dog-dog interaction Ceno greeted the helper dog with a relaxed body posture, appearing interested in interacting. Ceno appears to be sociable and has not shown any behavioral concerns while at the care center, so the department feels Ceno can be suitable for an “Average” adopter.
