About Cleo

Meet Cleo! Cleo is a charming Chihuahua/Shih Tzu mix puppy full of personality. At just 4 months old and weighing 6.5 pounds, she's expected to stay small, but don’t let that fool you—this little girl has a big heart and an even bigger zest for life. Cleo believes everyone she meets can become a new best friend. She thrives on affection, loves giving kisses, and enjoys cuddling up to her people. Although Cleo is still a baby and not yet housetrained, she's making strides. With consistent outdoor trips and pee pads, she’ll learn the ropes with a little patience. She’s not fully vaccinated yet, so her new home should ideally have a fenced yard to keep her safe while she develops. Cleo hasn’t been tested with other pets, so a slow introduction may be best. Cleo will need the attention of someone who is home frequently to guide her in socialization and puppy manners. She also requires a spay procedure as part of her adoption, with a deposit to ensure it will be completed. With commitment, Cleo has the potential to be a wonderful little companion. This sweet girl is ready for a loving home. Could Cleo be your new best friend? Adoption fee is $500 plus a $100 spay deposit. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
