About Cleo

I still remember the day my world changed. One minute I had an owner. The next, I was sitting in a shelter wearing my pretty little harness, wondering why no one came back for me. ���� I waited. And waited. I don't know what I did wrong. �ٴ� I was so scared that I couldn't stop shaking. Every sound made me jump. Every person who walked by, I hoped it was someone coming for me. The volunteer who met me that day said I couldn't stay there another night. She looked at me and saw a girl whose heart was breaking. ���� That girl was me. Hi�'�| I'm Cleo. ��Z'� I'm only a year old, so I still have my whole life ahead of me. I'm great with kids, other dogs, and cats are just fine by me. My foster says I'm one of the sweetest girls they've ever met. ��ե�ٴ� I'm a little shy when we first meet. I hope you'll forgive me for that. You see, when someone you love leaves you behind, your heart gets a little more careful. I just need a minute to believe you're really staying. But once I know I'm safe�'�| oh, I love with everything I have. ��ե I promise I'll love everyone who walks through the door of the home where I finally feel safe. I'll follow you from room to room because my favorite place isn't on the couch or in a dog bed. It's wherever you are. �ٴ� If you laugh, my tail wags. If you sit down, I'll be right beside you. If you're having a bad day, I'll quietly remind you that you're never alone. The rescue even fixed my cherry eye before introducing me to everyone because they wanted me to feel my very best. They joked about giving me a little pirate eye while I healed, but I think they secretly knew my eyes were always going to tell my story better than words ever could. They've seen the real me. The playful girl who gets the zoomies. ��լ The gentle soul who adores children. The sweetheart who just wants someone to love forever. ���S I don't need a perfect family. I don't care if your house is big or small. I don't care if your couch is fancy. I just want to know that when you leave for work, you'll come home to me. That when I fall asleep tonight, I'll wake up with the same family tomorrow. That I'll never have to wonder again if I'm being left behind. I've already lived through goodbye.
