Meet adorable 13 week old Cleo. She is a gentle, snuggly girl with a glossy dark coat. She currently lives with another dog in her foster home and really enjoys the company of other dogs. She sleeps through the night with one potty break. Smart Cleo knows several commands like sit and “no” which is a good thing during her teething phase! Please check her out along with her sibling Apollo on our web page Shepheroes.org
