My personality

My story

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

Meet Cleo!

A charming eight-year-old Staffordshire/Cocker Spaniel mix from Columbus, GA, whose silky white coat and gentle eyes invite you into her peaceful world. Cleo's days are well spent basking in the sun's warmth or wandering leisurely on walks, where every path is her favorite. This medium-sized lady weighs in at 55 pounds and carries her love for stuffed animal speaker toys as joyfully as her fondness for snacks!

Cleo is a master of commands like sit, stay, and shake, making her a delightful and responsive companion. Although she has not received formal obedience training, her repertoire of tricks is impressive. At home, Cleo is a constant companion, happy to share a couch for some cuddle time. She's very affectionate and loves to express her fondness by gently placing her paw on you.

Living with deafness, Cleo has adapted beautifully, responding to hand motions and filling her environment with a sense of understanding. While Cleo typically enjoys a serene demeanor, she can be cautious around strangers, where her nervousness may show as defensive behavior. Understanding and patience with her comfort zone will help Cleo feel secure and loved.

Her health is well-maintained with up-to-date vaccinations, and she's spayed, microchipped, crate-trained, and house-trained, making her ready for any home willing to embrace her with love and patience. Cleo cherishes her snacks and treats, which are always a highlight of her day!

The most endearing part of Cleo's day is when she gets to express her affection. She's not shy about offering a gentle paw to show her love, creating moments of pure connection. Cleo enjoys the company of other dogs as long as they are friendly, and she maintains a gentle curiosity towards smaller animals, though she likes to keep her toys close.

Are you ready to fill your days with sunshine and gentle paw pats? Can you offer Cleo a loving home that speaks her language of quiet companionship and tender care?

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our ultimate goal is to unite as many animals with loving pet parents as possible, so we strive to make it easy to adopt a dog or cat you have fallen in love with. All we ask is that you fill out an adoption application so that we have all the information we need to determine that you'll be able to provide a safe and compassionate home to one of our rescued pets. Once approved, all you need to do is sign our adoption agreement form and provide an adoption donation so that we can continue to save more animals every day and unite them with families just like yours.
