About Cleo

Meet Cleo, the sock-loving queen ready to steal your heart! This delightful 3-year-old Australian Cattle Dog weighs in at 32 pounds and has a playful spirit that’s as big as her love for socks. Cleo has experienced some challenges in her early life, so she needs a patient person who understands that trust takes time. In new environments, she can be a bit reserved, especially around men, and she requires a secure home to keep her safe since she's a flight risk. Once she feels at ease, Cleo's true personality shines. She’s a bundle of energy who adores toys and snacks, and she has a hilarious habit of tossing her favorite socks in the air before zooming off into playful sprints. Cleo is house and crate trained, learning basic commands, and while she absolutely adores other dogs, she prefers to steer clear of cats. Her play style can be a little rough, so she’d benefit from companions who appreciate her enthusiastic energy. Cleo is looking for someone to give her the safe, loving home she deserves, allowing her to decompress and enjoy life fully. Can you be the one to show Cleo that the world is a fantastic place? Fostered near Joliet, Illinois, Cleo is ready to find her forever home. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
