Meet Cleo, your new best friend and forever shadow! This adorable black-and-tan dachshund has soulful brown eyes and a charming face that's hard to resist. At about 1.5 years old and weighing 18 pounds, she's a delightful "tweenie"—the perfect size between a miniature and a standard dachshund. Cleo has a sweet and affectionate temperament, adoring everyone she meets, including kids and adults alike. She believes that every person is just a friend waiting to be cuddled. When it comes to snuggling, she's a champion. This loyal companion loves being close to her people and will happily follow you around, making her the ultimate four-legged shadow. But don’t let her cuddly nature fool you! Cleo is a spirited young dachshund, excited to run and explore once cleared by her veterinarian. For now, she's recovering from a recent spay, taking it easy and soaking up extra love. Currently fostered in Calabasas, California, Cleo is not ready for adoption just yet as she needs time to recover and settle. But stay tuned; she’ll soon be searching for her forever home. Let's welcome sweet Cleo to the family!
