Chleo is a 2 yr old Fell terrier who, we're sure you agree, has striking looks. She is a mink colour and silver grey with smooth coat on her legs and nose and tight curls on her head and back. She was owned by a working family as a puppy and so with her canine partner of the same breed and age was left. She has a mannerism of twirling around and chasing her tail which her current fosterers have helped her to diminish. She is a happy busy terrier who interacts with toys and balls and welcomes constructive activity. We feel she needs another dog as a companion; to interact with her so her energy continues to be appropriately employed and also to act as a role model in meeting dogs outside and mixing.

Chleo is bright and keen to learn. Chleo is loyal and offers you all you could want in companionship. She needs someone with her through her days, to guide her further..she has learnt so much in the last 4 months and is becoming a first class terrier. If you love terriers Chleo will win your heart.

Please visit our website CLICK HERE and complete our questionnaire. Go thru to the forum and see her thread under dogs in foster.

Finally, some much needed new photos of Chleo to show you just how lovely this little girlie is – she is still in kennels looking for a foster home or forever home:

An update from one of our volunteer walkers:

I met Chleo for the first time today and boy, is she a stunner. She is much, much smaller than I was expecting and is very striking.

She has not totally settled into her new surroundings and is still a little nervous. When I went into her kennel, she immediately rolled onto her back, being very submissive. It didn't take long to sooth her and have some cuddles.

Someone took else walked her while I took Jay. She was quite strong on the lead, possibly because she wanted to be the leader. After the walk she was very good while I fiddled around with collars and tags

I am really looking forward to getting to know her better as she has only just started to reveal her personality to us

Your guess is as good as mine. When she first arrived I thought she would have been snapped up. She is truly lovely in the flesh too! :yes:

An update from the kennels on their Spa day - when Chleo had the works!

Chleo how long you been in kennels and why?? We cannot understand why you've not been snapped up. Lovely girl. We like to treat them all the same HOWEVER - Little Chleo was the first one out for her Spa and then spent the afternoon with us whilst we did the other dogs so she could have some peace and quiet and catch up on some beauty sleep - not that she needs it!! My friend Helen fell deeply in love and was very touch by her soft and loving nature. Think she may have put on a few extra pounds with all her Sausages and treats she had today.

I'm ready for my home now peeps, all scrubbed up and ready to go go go. We told her it wouldn't be long and it won't. She "attempted" to tail chase only a couple of times but if you read her body language you can tell she is going to "start" and a little "flea" in the ear of Chleo leave and she either forgets what she was going to start, or if she has started she stops instantly. Loved her to bits. We look forward to seeing her under "Dogs Reserved" very soon. Until then she is still looking for a foster home or forever home.

Chleo had a wonderful walk with Jay her partner and Stanley her 'half brother or father?' She is always reticent as she is coming away from the kennels and needs encouragement, but then gets a certain distance and is into the flow.

Still looking for a foster home or forever home!

An update from Chleo’s thread by Lynne:

Walked Chleo with Jay yesterday. Confession is I can't help but personally feel I've failed her and Jay. When they came on our books their good looks we supposed a 'right' family would come forwards. Jay's problems had been described by a non-terrier family and it was only when I met them, when they were in foster, 9 months on that I appreciated they were just terriers and in terrier people hands 'a delight'. Oh and then they came into our kennels together, but months on they had a few set toos out of sheer stress and boredom ... so they were separated. Moved to other kennels thinking they would benefit and these kennels really didn’t suit Chleo and she started self abuse. They are now happy in their kennels, but they sit there, day in day out, without walks other than what I can offer which has been 1x a week. My heart bleeds that these 2 little gems just haven't had it right within our rescue, BUT we will find their home - just needs someone with a bit of gumption to take on 2 and they won’t look back, they are both real treasures.
