I have read the documentation respecting backups but I cannot seem

I have a pair of tables in a production database that I wish to dump
and then restore to a new, different database. I can, and probably
will, recreate the tables and column layouts in the new database.
Is there a way to load the data dumped from a single table in one
database into a new, possibly differently named, table in a
different database, using PG utilities?
pg_dump -U postgres -a -t cell_per -f cell_per.sql production
