DOB 1/1/20, weight 10 pounds
Hey there, everyone! I’m Cleo, a charming, loving, and friendly chestnut Chihuahua gal with a black muzzle who luxuriates when my foster mom showers me with plenty of attention and gives me every opportunity to snuggle with her. I love playing with other small dogs but am understandably cautious around larger dogs. I haven’t been around cats, but I’m open to meeting dog-friendly ones.
I had previously led a sheltered existence ever since I was a puppy because my former owner had never walked me and had kept me and my Chihuahua "sister" Bubbles on a small patio most of the time. You might say that he was a back-yard breeder because under his care I birthed my Chihuahua puppies Bambi and Lucita. However, he had some financial reverses and could not afford the apartment pet deposit for all four of us pooches. Fortunately, his kind-hearted neighbor, who happens to be a HOPE cat foster mom, stepped up to the plate and agreed to foster me until I could find a new home.
Foster Mom has opened up a whole new world for me! Not only am I inside most of the time now where I can cuddle with her, but also I’m learning to walk on a leash. I relish all the other people and canines whom I meet on our daily excursions. Even though I’m tiny, nothing makes me happier than for Foster Mom to invest her time and energy into treating me like a big dog.
Now that I’m permanently retired from motherhood, I’m ready to become the perfect addition to a loving forever home. If you’re looking for bundle of love the size of a minute, I’m the cuddly lap dog for you! Arrange to meet me today, and I hope you’ll take me home in your purse. I promise to leave itsy-bitsy paw prints all over your heart.
