Cleo is a 45-pound Kelpie mix who stands out for her gentle spirit around other dogs. She’s about a third of the way through her youth and thrives with canine companions, but people make her nervous. Cleo needs an adopter who understands that trust can’t be rushed; patience and consistency will be pivotal. She’s not suited for a home with small children, given her fearfulness. Cleo’s future family should be committed to giving her time, space, and steady routines so she can slowly come out of her shell and build confidence. She is house trained and already spayed, with her vaccinations current. Cleo’s a good fit for someone ready to invest in her progress—ideally someone with a calm household and perhaps another stable dog to show her the ropes. Give her the quiet understanding she needs, and she just may surprise you. Click apply to start the adoption process.
