My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Cleo, the tiniest little bundle of sweetness you'll ever meet! This petite girl is a mix of cuteness, curiosity, and cuddles all rolled into one furry package. Cleo's favorite thing? Exploring the world with her bright, curious eyes and wagging tail. She's super friendly and will instantly melt your heart with her gentle snuggles and loving nature. This tiny wonder may be small, but her love is larger than life! If you're looking for a furry friend who'll bring sunshine to your days, Cleo is ready to join your forever home.

Here's some notes from her foster:

Cleo is the sweetest tiny girl and we, have been enjoying so many snuggles with her. Her favorite things so far have been snoozing under blankets, being held, and mealtime (which is great because she needs to put on some weight!). She loves to be snuggled up with us wherever we are, but is also happy to relax on the couch by herself with a cozy blanket. We have been working on leaving her alone for short periods of time and so far she is doing great.

Cleo has been going potty outside and likes short walks but sometimes would rather go back inside or be picked up and carried as soon as she’s done her business. She will politely ask to be picked up by standing up on her hind legs to put her front paws on
your leg. She’s a perfect companion at home and on outings--so far we have taken her out to brunch, to relax in the park, and to a holiday market. She has been happy to relax in her sling or in a lap anywhere we’ve gone and she also does great in the car.

While Cleo has been a very quiet and relaxed house-guest, we have found that she is not a fan of cats. Our resident cat steers clear of her and stays in her own part of the house, but the few times that Cleo has seen kitty she has pretended to be a big scary dog barking and growling. Otherwise, she is the most quiet angel. Cleo does well with other dogs but mostly ignores her foster brother so we think she would be perfect in a home with or without other pups.
