My story

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

This happy-go-lucky gal is ready to find her forever home! Cleo is an estimated 2 year old, border collie/shepherd mix who first came to us in the winter of 22-23' as a stray. She was so unsocialized and scared of humans, but spent 6 months with us where we got to see her goofy, playful personality blossom before she was finally adopted. Unfortunately after another 6 months in a home it became evident that though Cleo can make canine friends through proper meet and greets, she just isn't comfortable sharing her space with them so she was returned to the shelter. As sad as we are to have her back, we are so proud to see how much more confidence she has gained and how she's grown.. Cleo is a ball of energy, always ready to run! She enjoys zooming around the yard and playing with her toys.

Cleo's previous home had nothing but wonderful things to say about her - they praised her intelligence and obedience, said that she loves her crate, and is fully housebroken. She still takes a moment to warm up to new people, but once she does she is the sweetest girl. We know she's going to make a PERFECT companion for the right person who has patience with her as she transitions into a new home environment, is active, and has the time to dedicate to training her. She can't be placed in a home with cats, and would do best in an adult only home as the only pet.

Cleo is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. If you are interested in adding Cleo to your family- please fill out a pre-approval form on our website: www.nokillarc.org! (found under our ‘adoptable dog' section).
