Cleo

Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory – Dr. Seuss

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share the news that our beloved Cleo has gained her Angel wings.

She never made it into surgery yesterday, she left us right before. Perhaps it was to spare us from worry or maybe she was just ready to peacefully move on – but she has left a gaping hole. 

Cleo lived only four days here in Sanctuary; for her it was a lifetime. 

She jumped right in with all four paws and quickly became a member of the exclusive “mean girls” Chihuahua group. She loved being swaddled in a blanket in Sanctuary moms arms, enjoyed pup loaf and special bubble baths. 

Cleo, we are beyond heartbroken that we could not give you more time to enjoy the life you deserved. We hope you know that even though your time with us was short, you were loved beyond measure and we would have given anything to take away your pain and lifetime of suffering. 

Those final moments with Cleo, the kiss on her little head, speaking to her softly letting her know everything was going to be ok, and her tiny paw prints, will forever be embedded on our hearts.
