About Cleo

At only 13 weeks old, our sweet Cleo has already woven herself into the fabric of her foster home, winning over the resident shepherds with her gentle spirit. Her glossy black coat, accented by warm brown streaks along her neck and shoulders, makes her truly unforgettable. If you are drawn to the magic of darker shepherds, Cleo might just be your perfect match. She is gentle, takes baths like a pro, has left her street days behind, and absolutely loves to snuggle. She sleeps through the night in her crate, with one quick potty break midway through, and is very smart. She's already grasped the sit command with enthusiasm. Cleo is a social butterfly who delights in the company of other dogs and brings a dash of playful mischief to every day. As her adult teeth come in, she appreciates gentle reminders to chew on her toys rather than your shoes or the couch. Luckily, she already knows how to listen when you say “no”. Her ear tips seem to have a mind of their own, changing direction each day, and we are eagerly waiting for the moment when they finally stand tall as they should. Cleo and her littermate, Apollo, were picked up by Animal Control and unclaimed by their original people.

Ideal Home

Cleo thrives with the company of other dogs and would likely do well in a home with a canine friend.

Ongoing Health

Cleo has recovered from an upper respiratory infection from her stay at the shelter.

Training & Support

As her adult teeth come in, Cleo is learning to chew on her toys rather than furniture. Gentle reminders and redirecting her chewing to appropriate toys will help her succeed. She already knows how to listen when you say "no."
