CLEO - GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog. At just 16 weeks old, Cleo has already become a beloved part of her foster home and has charmed the resident shepherds with her gentle nature. Her shiny black coat, with warm brown streaks on her neck and shoulders, makes her stand out. If you love darker shepherds, Cleo could be the one for you. She is gentle, handles baths well, has moved on from her days on the street, and loves to snuggle. Cleo sleeps through the night in her crate, only needing a quick potty break halfway through, and she’s very smart. She has already learned to sit and comes running when you call her name. Like her littermate Apollo, Cleo has recovered from an upper respiratory infection she got at the shelter. Both pups were picked up by Animal Control and were not claimed by their previous owners. Cleo enjoys being with people and other dogs, and she brings playful energy to every day. As her adult teeth come in, she sometimes needs gentle reminders to chew on her toys instead of shoes, but she already listens when you say “no.” Squeaky toys are definitely her favorites. Cleo greets everyone with a wagging tail, direct eye contact, and a wiggly body, inviting you to kneel down for some love. She’s quick to give kisses and snuggles in return. Sometimes she naps in her crate, but she also likes sleeping on the couch or at your feet if you work from home. She’s almost fully potty trained, with only rare accidents when she gets too excited playing with her dog friends. Cleo is staying with a relief foster family this week while her regular foster family is out of town. She’s adjusted easily to her new home, playing and getting along well with the five shepherds there, including Ambra, who is adopted and awaiting spay and final X-rays before she heads to her forever home. Cleo is a calm, quiet puppy who is doing really well in our care. She sometimes gets car sick, so we’re helping her get used to car rides by doing fun activities while parked and taking short trips. Like most puppies, she’ll probably outgrow it. Her ear tips seem to have a mind of their own, changing direction every day. We can’t wait to see them finally stand up straight. She’s going to the vet this week for her final vaccines and is ready to meet her forever family. Please help us share Cleo and Apollo’s story. These two wonderful pups were once overlooked and homeless, and now they deserve to find the loving families they’ve always needed. Have you checked out our YouTube channel?
