Cleo Schnauzer & Border Terrier Mix Richardson, TX

Meet Cleo, a very affectionate little girl who is looking for a loving home. Cleo is 22 pounds and 2 years old. She enjoys cuddling, spending quality time with her people, playing tug-of-war with her toys, learning new tricks, and belly rubs. She is full of love and is a great companion! Her favorite time of the day is the morning because she gets so excited when she sees her people are up and ready to give her some attention.

Cleo's preferred home will have a backyard, because this girl loves to do her zoomies and loves to chase squirrels. We have not seen her with children, but expect she will be okay with older, respectful children. She is a curious little dog, loves to play with her toys and sniff for kibble in her snuffle mat. She will need a consistent routine to continue with her housetraining. She utilizes a kennel for this and also does well in it while you are away or cannot be with her. One thing is for sure, wherever you go, you can count on looking down and seeing Cleo at your side. She is a loyal companion, always ready to accompany you and snuggle up next to you.
