Hey there! Cleo here.
I'm a hound, so I come with a built-in soundtrack and an honorary degree in sniffing.
Word is I'm a championship snuggler. I don't like to brag, but the notes don't lie.
I've been holding down the fort in Arlington, hoping someone like you would wander by.
Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.
With a little luck, Thanksgiving could be my first one in a real home — possibly with you, or with someone you send my way.
Either way, thank you for seeing me today. That part mattered more than you know. — Cleo

About Cleo
THE VIP EXPERIENCE: Are You Ready to Be Cleo's "Chosen One"? If you love a dog who makes you work just a little bit for her affection—knowing the payoff is a fiercely loyal, snuggly best friend for life—Cleo is looking for you! Meet Cleo, a breathtakingly unique, pocket-sized "Jiggy" (Jack Russell Terrier / Italian Greyhound mix). Cleo isn't a dog who hands out her love to just anyone on day one. She doesn't do superficial greetings or fake enthusiasm for strangers. Cleo is an exclusive-membership kind of girl. But once you earn her trust and cross that velvet rope into her inner circle? A completely different side of her blooms, and she will shower you with her entire heart! We've leaned a bit too much into her "independent, cat-like" description in the past, but make no mistake: Cleo is a deeply loving, velcro-loyal dog once she knows she's safe. She is ready to find that one special soul person who appreciates a sensitive, brilliant little dog. ✨ The Cleo VIP Perks (Once You're Selected): The Ultimate Snuggle Buddy: When she decides you are her safe haven, Cleo transforms into an absolute lovebug. She will curl up as tightly as possible against you, shower you with kisses, and soak up every bit of one-on-one couch time. The Terrier Spark: She has that fun, confident Jack Russell personality wrapped in an elegant, sensitive Italian Greyhound body. She loves structured games and dedicated quality time with her favorite human. Polite & Family-Friendly: Cleo does really well with children! They just need to understand her VIP status: introductions should be calm and quiet, allowing Cleo to approach them at her own elegant pace. Cleo's Perfect Sanctuary: A Peaceful Household: Because of her sensitive Italian Greyhound roots, she thrives in a low-traffic home. Her behavior consultant recommends giving her a designated "safe suite"—a cozy crate with plush bedding or a quiet corner where she can take uninterrupted royal naps. Dog Dynamics: She happily coexists with dogs her own size, but she does have that confident Terrier leadership spark and prefers to be the dominant female queen of her castle. The "Staycation" Lifestyle: Cleo gets a little carsick and nervous at the vet, so she prefers a homebody lifestyle. She's looking for a family who will keep car trips short, use natural calming wraps, and plan fun activities right at home or in the yard. Cleo is healthy, spayed, and waiting for the right patient match to change her life. If you want the deep, unmatched reward of being a sensitive dog's absolute favorite person in the world, apply for Cleo today!
