Cleo remembers the day everything changed. One moment she had a home, and the next, she found herself in a shelter, her harness snug against her body, wondering why no one returned for her. She waited, unsure of what went wrong. Her fear was palpable, and every sound startled her. The volunteer who saw her that day realized Cleo couldn’t spend another night in such a place. Cleo, at just a year old, is still exploring life and is fantastic with kids, dogs, and cats. Her foster describes her as one of the sweetest girls around. There's a little shyness at first; after all, it's hard to trust again when you've been let down. Once she feels safe, though, her love is boundless. She’ll want to be close, following you around the house, sharing in your joys and comforting you when times are tough. The rescue even took care of her cherry eye to make sure she felt her best. Cleo is playful, gentle, and full of love. She doesn’t need a perfect home; she simply wants a family that will stay. Having endured too many goodbyes, she yearns to wake up every day knowing she’s truly home.
