Here's what you need to know about me:I'm not on the general adoption floor. You might not see me when you come to visit. So please speak to an adoption counselor if you'd like to meet me.I can be shy in new spaces. I need a family who will let me take things at my own pace as I learn about new things. Once I come out of my shell, I have lots of love to give.It's recommended I meet any dogs or kids living in my new home before I'm adopted. I just want to make sure we all get along.

Story
I've been in the shelter longer than most and my adoption fee has been paid by someone who loves me.My foster knows me better than anyone! Here's what they had to say about me during my time with them:Cleo is such a good girl!! She is loving, smart and look at that adorable face! This playful girl really loves her toys and she is happy to entertain herself with them while she sprints around the house. Cleo then calms herself by chewing on a good chew stick.Cleo can be a little shy at first, but she warms up very quickly with treats which she takes them very nicely. She is a curious girl who enjoys a good sniffy walk where she can explore. She does want to chase the bunnies and squirrels but she can be redirected. While Cleo is an active dog, she is also happy to relax and snooze on the couch preferably while she is snuggling with her people. And be prepared to share your bed because she likes to snuggle preferable after she has lifted up and gotten underneath the blankets.Cleo likes other dogs but she needs a very tolerant and patient doggy friend as she is very energetic with them. Cleo is a young and energetic and is still learning to keep her feet on the floor. She knows sit and shake and can be a good leash walker but she does want to see other dogs and chase the small animals. She is great in the car - jumps in and sits quietly watching the view. We are working on potty training but she has done really well with consistency and positive reinforcement. I'm currently in foster and ready for my new home!

Once I come out of my shell, I have lots of love to give.I'm easy going. Wanna go for a walk? Okay. Hang out in the yard? No problem. Just relax on the couch? I can do that. I'm pretty happy to go at your pace and I don't really need much more than most dogs do. If you're looking for a steady companion, I'm all yours.It's recommended I meet any dogs or kids living in my new home before I'm adopted. I just want to make sure we all get along.

I've been in the shelter longer than most and my adoption fee has been paid by someone who loves me.Here's what you need to know about me:Hi, I'm Arrow! I'm a sweet girl with a big heart. I can be a little shy with new people and nervous around loud noises, but once I get comfortable, I turn into the ultimate snuggle buddy - my foster mom says I love belly rubs! I also love going for walks and sometimes get extra excited when I see other dogs or cats because I'd really like to say hi. One of my favorite things is when my people come home; I get so happy to see you that I might bounce around a little, but I'm working on my manners and learning to ask politely for attention. Once I settle in, I'm a loyal, affectionate girl who will happily be your cuddle buddy and best friend. .I'm available for Trial Adoption! If you're interested in taking me home for 2 weeks before making a final decision, please speak to an adoption counselor.I'm currently in foster and ready for my new home!
