Hi my name is Celtic!

I'm adoption-ready and with my foster family!

Celtic is currently in foster care and ready for adoption via our virtual process! Celtic, a stunning four-year-old female, is still getting settled in, so we’re just beginning to learn who they are. Right now, everything is new—new people, new sounds, new routines—and we’re giving them time to relax, decompress, and show us their true personality at their own pace. Here’s what we know so far about her time in foster care: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mSXnmDoqP0iipFPpd70lujaqKKAprtUP/view?… Celtic is a gorgeous girl. Her foster says she is sweet and lovely and likes people. She loves attention and enjoys chatting with you. She is very food and treat motivated, and she loves playing and a good cuddle. They say she is very energetic and friendly, "Super outgoing and active! ". She is a very fun companion. She is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped , and has had preventative treatments to ensure she is ready for her next steps. Submit an adoption survey from above and our team will reach out via phone or email (check spam) to schedule a counseling call. For any additional questions, please contact fosternyc@bestfriends.org. Please remember, pets cannot be held or reserved.

More about fostering

What is Best Friends’ lifetime return policy?

Our lifetime return policy means that at any time during the life of the adopted pet, Best Friends will accept the animal back into our program, including matches that no longer work out or situations in which the adopter is unable to care for the pet.

In this case, the adopter is asked to contact Best Friends in advance of bringing the pet back to the location where the pet was adopted. If that location is no longer the closest option, Best Friends staff may arrange to accept the pet at an alternate pet adoption center or authorize an individual to receive the pet on Best Friends’ behalf to bring the pet to a Best Friends facility.

About Best Friends Animal Society

Best Friends is working to end the killing of dogs and cats in U.S. shelters in part by getting more pets out of shelters and into loving homes.

We’ve come a long way since the first known city reached no-kill in 1994, and now we’re closer than ever to making the entire country no-kill. Of the roughly 3,900 shelters operating in America today, 1,300 of them are not yet no-kill, but nearly half are close with 100 or fewer additional pets to be saved, and we know what to do to get them there.

Best Friends is committed to working with passionate people like you to save homeless pets through adoption, volunteering, fostering, and advocacy. In addition to our lifesaving centers around the U.S, we also founded and run the nation's largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals.

Working together, we can save homeless pets in our communities and secure a better future for our best friends. Together, we will bring the whole country to no-kill.
