Cleo - Cattle Dog Dog for Adoption in Joliet, Illinois

MEET CLEO! THE SOCK-LOVING QUEEN!

Cleo is a beautiful 3 yr old, 32lbs Australian Cattle Dog with big feelings, a playful spirit, and absolutely loves socks!

Cleo hasn’t had the easiest start in life, and she’s looking for someone who understands that trust takes time. She can be timid in new environments and is more comfortable around women. She’s also a flight risk, so a secure home, patience, and someone committed to keeping her safe are essential.

But once Cleo decides you’re her person, you’re in for a treat!

This little rocket has quite the personality! She loves toys, snacks, and especially throwing her favorite socks into the air before taking off on a full-speed zoomie session! She’s feisty, playful, and full of character once she lets her guard down.

* House and crate trained
* Learning basic commands
* Absolutely LOVES other dogs
* Toy enthusiast and professional sock collector!
* No cats, please


Cleo’s enthusiasm sometimes gets the best of her when playing with other dogs. She can be a little rough and comes on strong, so she’ll benefit from continued guidance and canine companions who appreciate her energetic play style.

What Cleo needs most is someone willing to give her the time to decompress, build trust, and discover that the world can be a safe and wonderful place.

Behind those cautious eyes is a little girl with so much love, laughter, and personality just waiting to shine.

Could you be the person who gives Cleo the patience, security, and forever love she deserves?

Fostered near Joliet, Illinois.
