About Cleo

Meet Cleo! This lovely two-year-old black mouth cur mix carries a story of resilience. Abandoned and once a mama to eight puppies, she's faced a tough journey, including a battle with heartworms, but she's come through it all with a remarkable spirit. Cleo is young, energetic, and a bundle of joy, always eager to meet new friends and spread her cheer. She thrives in a home with a secure, fenced yard since she’s quite the jumper, able to clear a 5-foot fence with ease. Cleo has been fully potty trained and makes a fabulous companion. While she's affectionate and loves her people, she might feel a bit anxious when left alone for extended periods. A family that can help boost her confidence would be ideal. Cleo has not been tested with cats yet, and she's shown a bit of interest in those she spots from a distance. Given her lively nature, older children would be a better match for her home. She gets excited by bicycles and motorcycles, so a confident handler is necessary to keep her safe during walks. Cleo has met many dogs and generally does well with them but was recently returned after not getting along with one specific dog. Thus, she would thrive best in a home without other furry siblings. She can still enjoy playdates with canine friends as long as they’re introduced carefully. Cleo has been waiting a long time to find her forever home. If you think you can give her the love and stability she deserves, don’t hesitate to apply. Your new best friend is just one click away.
