About Cleo’s Breed:
Chihuahuas are often people-oriented and love to bond deeply with their families, and Cleo is no exception once she feels safe and secure. Chihuahuas are bold, confident and loyal. They are affectionate with their people but can be wary of strangers but warm up quickly. They are intelligent and trainable, though they may be a little stubborn at times, but they keep it interesting! They are also known to be vocal and love to “chit chat”!
Cleo is a gentle soul with a spunky streak, a dainty little lady who’s shy at first but blossoms beautifully once she feels safe. She’s potty trained, crate trained, and has excellent house manners—so much so that she can be trusted alone without a crate. She’s not destructive, rarely barks, and quickly learns household routines.
Cleo’s Quiet Charms:
• Potty & crate trained, with impeccable house manners
• Low to moderate energy—a good walker but not high-strung
• Great on a leash, and enjoys calm strolls through the neighborhood
• Prefers calm environments—ideal for older kids and mellow dogs
• Loves human companionship, especially once she trusts you
• Dainty eater, enjoys quiet mealtimes and is warming up to veggies
• Striking looks—tricolor coat, one blue eye, and a cute underbite
• Affectionate once bonded—loves being near you, in your lap, or just in the same room
Cleo is a classic Chihuahua at heart—cautious with strangers, but fiercely loyal once you’re in her circle. She’s not demanding, but she does need a home that offers patience, calm, and a little encouragement as she settles in.
If you’re looking for a sweet, sensitive companion who’ll quietly become your shadow and your snuggle buddy, Cleo is ready to give her heart to the right person or family.
