My story

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

Cleo is a 6-month-old female heeler mix with a sleek black coat, a classic heeler-style white–spotted chest, and the most irresistible oversized ears—she’s still growing into them, and they somehow make her even cuter.

This sweet girl is the perfect balance of playful and snuggly. She loves romping around outside with her puppy friends, especially those close to her size, and she’s known to gently “egg on” her buddies to convince them it’s playtime. In new environments or when meeting unfamiliar dogs, Cleo can be a bit reserved at first, but give her a little time and she warms right up, ready for fun and adventure.

When playtime winds down—or she’s simply in the mood for affection—Cleo transforms into a total snugglebug. She’s a certified clinger who wants all the love she can get, happily nudging the nearest person for pets and cuddles. Truly, she could soak up affection for hours.

Like any good heeler, Cleo loves being outdoors or watching the world go by through a window. After a good romp, she’ll immediately curl up for a nap, snuggling in close to both people and other dogs. She gets along wonderfully with dogs, cats, and kids. Potty and crate training are still in progress, but she’s a smart, eager learner who’s already well on her way.

Cleo would thrive in just about any family looking for a well-rounded puppy—one who can run, play, and explore just as happily as she can spend the day curled up in bed with you. If you’re searching for a loving, playful companion with a heart full of affection, Cleo is your girl!

More about this shelter

We are a non-profit organization out of Monticello, IA specializing in the care for dogs and cats that need us. Our care does not stay local, as we take transports from all over the United States, and adopt all over as well!

Our mission's primary focus is to help reduce the homeless pet population by finding homes for spayed/neutered pets, and helping educate WHY this process is so important, and the proper way to care for pets!
