Cleo is probably a tri-color Te-Chi (pronounced "tea-chee")... Not quite a Chihuahua except in coloring, she sports a 'wirehaired ruff' around the back of her neck and the strip down her head between her ears can be easily brushed into a mohawk (poor thing~!!) as you pet her... Then she'll give you that 'sadder than sad' look that makes you feel bad for brushing it up like that!
The shelter can provide no backstory to this little gal, but we suspect after fostering her for a bit, Cleo had some separation anxiety issues going on... And that could be the reason she was dumped in the shelter... Easily enough fixed with a Kong and crate training, Cleo rapidly settled down in the foster mom's home...
She is a snuggler and 'roots' almost like a baby piglet until she finds that spot underneath your jaw bone and neck bone... Once her head is firmly entrenched underneath your chin, she's good for an hour's nap as she curls into your chest...
Primarily chocolate with white markings, she sports tan eyebrows - only the ruff is wirehaired - the rest of her coat is smooth and silky... None of the Chi personality, she's a submissive female who is outgoing and friendly to all - dogs and humans alike... She wants nothing more than to be picked up and cuddled...
