Meet Cleo

Meet Cleo! A charming eight-year-old Staffordshire/Cocker Spaniel mix from Columbus, GA, whose silky white coat and gentle eyes invite you into her peaceful world. Cleo's days are well spent basking in the sun's warmth or wandering leisurely on walks, where every path is her favorite. This medium-sized lady weighs in at 55 pounds and carries her love for stuffed animal speaker toys as joyfully as her fondness for snacks! Cleo is a master of commands like sit, stay, and shake, making her a delightful and responsive companion. Although she has not received formal obedience training, her repertoire of tricks is impressive. At home, Cleo is a constant companion, happy to share a couch for some cuddle time. She's very affectionate and loves to express her fondness by gently placing her paw on you. Living with deafness, Cleo has adapted beautifully, responding to hand motions and filling her environment with a sense of understanding. While Cleo typically enjoys a serene demeanor, she can be cautious around strangers, where her nervousness may show as defensive behavior. Understanding and patience with her comfort zone will help Cleo feel secure and loved. Her health is well-maintained with up-to-date vaccinations, and she's spayed, microchipped, crate-trained, and house-trained, making her ready for any home willing to embrace her with love and patience. Cleo cherishes her snacks and treats, which are always a highlight of her day! The most endearing part of Cleo's day is when she gets to express her affection. She's not shy about offering a gentle paw to show her love, creating moments of pure connection. Cleo enjoys the company of other dogs as long as they are friendly, and she maintains a gentle curiosity towards smaller animals, though she likes to keep her toys close. Are you ready to fill your days with sunshine and gentle paw pats? Can you offer Cleo a loving home that speaks her language of quiet companionship and tender care? Email [email protected] to learn more about how Cleo can brighten your life! Could you be the patient and understanding friend Cleo hopes to find?
