Hi I'm Cleo! I'm a young playful girl with the sweetest face and I like to do little tippy taps with my paws when I get excited! I can be a little shy when you first meet me, but toys and treats will help me feel more comfortable

I'm an active dog! My Favorite activities are running and playing. With a little training I'll be a great jogging and hiking buddy. I'm up for any game you want to play with me, especially if it exercises my brain, too. I'd love to go home with a family who can help me burn off energy with exercise, playtime and outdoor adventures

I learn really fast! My shelter friends have worked with me on all sorts of things, like leash skills, checking in when I see birds or small animals, learning to keep "4 on the floor" and learning to be patient while I wait for a treat and they say I learn really fast when using positive training methods.

I love to snuggle! Underneath all my playful energy, I am also very snuggly. I love when my favorite people sit with me to cuddle after our walks.

It's recommended I meet any dogs or kids living in my new home before I'm adopted. I just want to make sure we all get along.

I'm available for Trial Adoption! If you're interested in taking me home for 2 weeks before making a final decision, please speak to an adoption counselor.

I'm ready to learn! If you want to learn about HSSW training classes, check out our Dog Training program.
