Cleo

12+ yrs. | purebred Rhodesian Ridgeback

Cleo is at least 12 years of age - possibly more. She is obese and must weigh well over 100 pounds on a frame that should be perhaps 75 to 80. She has huge feet and absolutely enormous liquid brown eyes. Her ears fall frontwards over her face instead of at the side - she has sorry looking teeth in her mouth and one broken canine. She has a nice ridge with two crowns. Cleo has a toe that must have been broken at one time and never seen to as it has healed upside down - the nail curves up towards the sky in a nice arc. Her nails are a tad long but she does not look ill kept - in fact, aside from the obesity, she looks like she was taken care of by her former owners. Her ears are ok, her coat is quite glossy and she seems well socialized. She gets along well with the eight dogs at her foster home and is quite kind hearted towards some of the idiot ones who live there! She knows sit and down and is quite obedient albeit she is still shellshocked. Cleo lived with a family until they moved about two weeks ago. Cleo was then taken to the pound and left to whatever fate they deemed fit for her. She was taken to a very high-kill shelter and dumped! Cleo needs a loving home that will appreciate her in her golden years. She is a lucky girl to have made friends with the shelter people who cared enough about her to call rescue! What a lucky old girl to still be alive!!
