Here's what the humans have to say about me:
"CLEO" is an adorable 1.5 yr old spayed female Cattle Dog mix, weighing in at 25 pounds. Cleo is on Keppra (roughly every 8 hours - she takes it eagerly with peanut butter 😊) for seizures, and in the 8 months she has been in our rescue she has had one when some of her doses of keppra were missed. We’ve had a complete work-up done at the veterinarian when we first got her, then another pre-op panel done just before she was spayed - all looks good! She is a very happy energetic girl, friendly towards people and other dogs, even sometimes being very submissive and rolling on her back. She can be okay with cats that are not afraid of dogs and stand their ground, but if they hiss and run, she’s after them! She has been fine with kids but with her previous history of seizures, we do not want to place her in a home that has a high traffic/chaotic pattern to it, she gets wound up easy enough as it is - if it runs, CHASE IT is her motto! She is housebroken and rides well in the car, enjoys walks/hikes. She does have the Cattle Dog sharp shrill bark for attention and when she is really wound up - because of that, absolutely NO apartments, townhomes, or condos - house with plenty of room and a large fenced yard is a must. Cleo definitely needs a home where someone is home most of the day, and we recommend having a second playful dog in the house to keep her occupied and tired - she is a high energy girl and does much better when she gets PLENTY of exercise both physically and mentally - continued training is a must with Cleo, she is still an adolescent and has a bit to go before can be consider an adult. She enjoys learning tricks and playing games, she is a busy girl and needs a home that can understand that and will work with her. So far, she does not resource guard anything here, is quick to back off if another dogs claims something, but she does play like a Cattle Dog - run, chase and slam is her classic style, may try to nip at another dog in a ‘drive by’ style of play, but has not nipped at people at all - however if she followed any closer she would be wearing my shoes.
