Cleo

Very sweet Cleo was rehomed by us 4 yrs ago to a couple who have done amazing work with her. She arrived as a terrified wreck and whilst she overcame a lot of that fear during her stay, her family have really brought her on to the girl she is today.
They are utterly heartbroken at having to rehome Cleo but she just isn't happy with a newborn baby in the home despite having worked hard at making it work and having had sessions with a highly experienced trainer (he himself sadly agreed rehoming was best in this situation which is not something he would usually say as he is one of the best problem fixers).
Cleo suffers from sleep startle so needs to know when you are entering a room if she is asleep and before she is touched (more common than people may think and very manageable once you know).

This is what Cleos parents have said about her:-

Cleo is a sweet 5-year-old rescue mix that has been part of our family for the past 4 years but, sadly, with a newborn in the house she needs to find a new home. She is a loving and loyal girl who loves being the centre of attention with lots of rubs and play. She is friendly, affectionate and full of personality. Cleo is house-trained with good recall, she also knows her basic commands and is always eager to learn (specially if there are treats involved!)
Cleo is happy to hop in the boot of the car for an adventure and loves playing in water and running in open fields. She is energetic but her favourite things are curling up at your feet, after a walk, and stretching out in a sunny spot for a snooze.
She would do best as the only dog in the house and, because of her sleep startle reflex, she’s not suited to living with small children. In the right home, she’ll be the most loyal and loving companion you could hope for.'
