Hi, I’m Cleo!
I was adopted when I was just 3 months and 15 days old, and ever since, I’ve had a whole lot of love to give — especially to my human and dog friends!
I’m a playful, energetic girl who lives for a good game of fetch (fair warning: I’ll bring the ball back, but I might not let it go!). I love wrestling with dog buddies, acting as the “referee” when others are playing, and sharing my toys with humans. I take playtime very seriously — sometimes I get so excited chasing the ball that I forget to slow down (I’ve had a few bumps and bruises, but it’s worth it every time!). I love treats and if you share snacks with me, I am very gentle when grabbing them from your hand.
I’m very respectful in the home. I don’t chew on furniture, clothes, or pillows, and I never try to climb things I shouldn’t. When I’m alone, I’m happy to curl up in my big Kirkland bed with my toys and wait patiently until you come back — but don’t worry, I’ll still keep an eye on the house while you're gone! I go to playcare at Arlington Heights Animal Hospital, and I love it there!
I love baths (I LOVE water!), chasing water with my paws and mouth, being wrapped in towels afterward, cozy naps while you’re working, following you around the house, and being near someone I trust. Walks are super exciting — maybe too exciting! I get a little distracted and pull on the leash because I want to see everything right now! I’d love help learning how to slow down and enjoy the journey.
