Owner Info: Cletus and Chloe's owner is losing her home and they cannot go with her.  She is moving at the end of July, and they need a new home by then. Their owner is heartbroken about this and is begging for help as she does not want to euthanize.  She is doing everything she can to help them find rescue/adoption, as the situation is out of her control. Cletus and Chloe are a lovable bonded pair. Cletus is blind and Chloe is deaf, and they are completely dependent upon each other!   Their current owner has had them about four years, and they are unable to be returned to their previous owner.  She has tried contacting many rescues but has had no luck so far.  Cletus and Chloe desperately need a new home/rescue by the end of July. 

Cletus

Cletus was blind in one eye when he first arrived at his current owner's, and has gone completely blind over the past 4 years.  Cletus is housebroken, he will go to the back door when he wants out, and is crate trained, and he loves his crate and blanket.  He knows, "outside", "potty", "cookie", and "bed".   According to his owner, he is a cute fat little man that only wants to sleep, eat and go potty….and get a treat when he is done. Even though he is blind he gets around well because he knows his boundaries. He is good with Chloe, and can get along with other dogs and adults after he gets to know them. His first instinct to strangers is to bark and growl but only from his crate. He lives in his crate and has open access to the kitchen only.  He sleeps locked in his crate at night.  

Chloe

Chloe has not been spayed, her owner was told by the SPCA she was too old to spay.  Her owner says that she has no known health issues other than her waddling because of her age. She is housebroken and will go to the back door when she needs to go out. She is crate trained and sleeps locked in the crate at night with Cletus, and she is left in the kitchen during the day with him.  Her owner says that she is a very sweet fat funny little girl, she loves to follow around the broom and vacuum while cleaning. She gets along with everyone and loves anyone who loves on her. She gets along with other dogs after she meets them. No matter where you go in the house she wants to follow you and sit by you.
