What's your dog’s favorite toy and/or go-to treat?

Cleo is obsessed with anything that squeaks... unfortunately, most toys don't survive long (we call it a full double-bypass surgery). Her one exception is Nessie, her Loch Ness monster toy, still miraculously intact. As for treats? She LOVES chicken.

What is your dog's most unique quality?

Cleo can jump nearly 5' straight up from a standstill (which is saying a lot for her short, foot-and-a-half stature!), like a tiny fox powered by pure magic. It's a little unbelievable until you see it, and somehow still perfectly on brand for her sweet, spirited self.

Why should your dog be America’s Favorite?

Because Cleo represents the best kind of joy: playful, loving, and always ready to make someone smile. After spending her first year homeless and nearly losing her chance in the shelter, she was rescued, loved, and now spreads warmth everywhere she goes. She turns second chances into pure happiness, strangers into friends, and moments into memories.
