My story

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

Cleo is an approximately one-year old Italian Greyhound / Chihuahua.

This little Italian Greyhound/Chihuahua (Chiggy) girl was pulled from a high kill shelter and nursed through kennel cough. She is now healthy, vaccinated, and scheduled to be spayed. The woman who pulled Cleo rescues and rehomes several dogs a year and indicated, “This girl is a gem.”

Her caretaker further indicated, “Cleo is a lot of dog in a 7 lb+ package and is perfect for someone who wants a small dog that can do everything a big dog can! She loves to play fetch with her tennis ball like a Retriever and, despite her size, loves long mountain hikes.” Cleo walks great on-leash, loves car rides, is doing fantastic with housetraining (no accidents), and is crate trained (she is crated when alone since she is still in a chewing stage). This girl is also amusing: “She loves her toys and is so funny to watch as she prances around with them and then rears up and tosses them in the air.” For further exercise, and the enjoyment of her people, “she does laps in our yard like a race horse.”

Affectionate? Yes! Cleo “loves to cuddle and hugs like a baby.”

Cleo's caretaker would like Cleo to go to an active/loving home with a fenced in yard, and perhaps another dog who is looking for a fun companion. If you are interested in Cleo, please contact Italian Greyhound Place.
