About Cleo:
Have you ever met a sweet soul, just beneath the surface of an initially shy and timid demeanor? One that takes a while to trust, but once it’s earned you have their dedication for life? That’s the experience of meeting, and getting the honor of befriending, Miss Cleo.
Cleo with strangers and Cleo with trusted caretakers are two entirely different dogs. Upon first meeting Cleo she may be guarded and hesitant to quickly connect. When she realizes that people can be generous snack dispensers though, a major barrier comes down and she’s another step closer to becoming your best pal. After that, all it takes is some time.
Around those whom Cleo trusts, she turns into the ultimate lap dog. You’ll want to spend the entire day by her side because she’s just that sweet! She’ll happily snuggle up and maybe even partake in a few group selfies.
Besides treats, Cleo’s still trying to figure out her likes and dislikes. Although she’s curious, she’s not quite sure what dog toys are and which ones she’d like to give a try. Cleo’s diligently working on both her potty-training and leash manners, as her previous experiences didn’t involve much focus on those core skills. However, her treat motivation definitely helps the learning process along!
The best fit home for Cleo is really a wide variety, as long as her family is accepting and patient. She’ll need some understanding as she works through her initial shyness, her likes/dislikes, and generally how to “dog.” Cleo will love being your affectionate best friend as you help boost her self-confidence – and show her life as a beloved family member.
