Cleo's Glow Up - A Chow Chow learns what love is. 04/30/2021 By Kerry S Beauty or Beast? Cleo arrived at Pet Haven in rough shape physically and emotionally. She was surrendered and had been used for breeding. She did not know love. She was scared and aggressive. No one could touch her. When she arrived into our care we knew she would need time to heal and learn to trust. In her new foster home, her foster gave her the time she needed. She showed Cleo patience. Allowed her decompression time. Worked on trust-building, and teaching Cleo to take treats from her hand. Slowly Cleo learned she was safe. She blossomed in just a few days. Her transformation was astounding. She was just waiting to be loved. This gal had a huge heart waiting to be filled. She is now accepting pets, getting a good bath, and grooming - something she has never had. And best of all.....she giving kisses!! Look at her now! Beautiful! She is building trust every day, meeting new people with success, and embracing what a well-loved dog is all about. We are so thrilled at her progress and so very appreciative of the work her foster has done. It's not easy but so rewarding. Below is from Cleo's Rock Star Foster who took a risk on Cleo, a fear-aggressive pup in need of someone to believe in her..... "Cleo is one of the coolest dogs I’ve ever been honored to work with & I am so very proud of her. Seeing her every day brings a smile to my face - she is nothing but pure joy. i’m trying to find a way to type up a bio that truly captures her magic & can’t wait to find her a family to call her own " This is the power of rescue and fostering love. Consider becoming a foster and changing a life for the better.
