Overview

Cleo is a beautiful 8-year-old Rottweiler lady looking for a calm and understanding home where she can enjoy life at her own pace. She is a shy, independent soul who can be quite aloof initially and isn't looking to rush into friendships - but give her time, space and gentle encouragement and you'll have the opportunity to watch her confidence gradually blossom. Cleo will thrive with patient people who understand that building a relationship with a shy dog is about allowing them to make choices and come to you when they're ready. She isn't a lady who wants lots of fuss or attention straight away, and she'll appreciate humans who can read her signals and respect when she'd rather have some space. Quiet sniffy walks, peaceful surroundings, gentle enrichment and a comfortable spot to relax will be much more Cleo's style than busy parks or highly social environments. She is currently sharing with her old friend Drake, though the pair appear comfortable rather than overly dependent on one another and are suitable to find separate homes where their individual needs can take priority. Cleo would love experienced, gentle humans who can give her the time she needs to come out of her shell. With patience, kindness and no pressure, this lovely older lady can settle into retirement knowing she is safe, understood and able to simply be herself.
