Looking to fall in love? Hoping for someone special to share Christmas with?
Well Kleo might just be the answer to your prayers. This little lady is one of the biggest heartwarmers you could ever ask to meet. There is no line between downright strangers and old friends in Kleo's world. Kleo can't imagine anyone out there who doesn't want to be her friend...and her confidence in people is always returned with love and head scratches!
Kleo loves attention, particularly loves being the center of it. She enjoys playing with her stuffies and laser pointer, but also loves to snuggle up for some cuddles. She is working on her manners for cuddles; she does not understand how anyone would want to pass up the chance to shower her with affection, no matter what they are doing. She is a smart girl, who would do well with some formal training for her leash skills. She is just so excited to be out walking that she has trouble containing it!
Kleo has an old injury on her left let. It was examined at OVC and they advised that surgery was not needed. In no way does it slow Kleo down!

Medical: Front right leg has an old healed fracture causing her to limp; Healed burn on lower body near her tail (advised that hair would not return to the area).
