Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi everyone, my name is Cleo. I am a 9 lb, 12 year old female dachsund/papillon cross who is sadly losing the only home I have ever known. You see my owner is busy with work and other activities and finds she just hasn't got the time to devote to me anymore. I am alone most of the day and have become a burden to her. Rather than take me to the SPCA she asked Home At Last if they would take me in. Thankfully I am in a foster home now so am getting lots of love and attention there. But I have one more move to make before I am finally in my last -and best- home.
Even at 12 I am an active girl and love going for walks. I like meeting other dogs but won't usually play with them until I get to know them well. I can be a bit nervous when approached by big dogs (I am pretty small after all) and may prefer to give them a wide berth. I could happily live with another small dog or a cat as I am very respectful of both.
My favorite thing is people, including kids, and I am very loving and cuddly with my family. I am also outgoing and affectionate when meeting strangers. Perhaps because I have spent so much time alone I would prefer a home where I will have human company most of the time. I am not destructive when left alone but I will bark and cry as if my heart is breaking. I have never lived with another pet so perhaps having a canine or feline companion will help me feel less anxious when alone. A home with a retired person or couple or with someone who works from home or can take me to work with them would be ideal for me.
I am a senior but except for some cataracts in my eyes I am a healthy girl. I am house trained, spayed and tattooed. My previous owner has never gotten me vaccinated, not once, so Home At Last will consult with their vet about having that done before I am adopted. My adoption fee is $150.
