Saint Bernard Dogs Available for Adoption in Rochester, Minnesota

Cleo is a big, beautiful Saint Bernard who is still very much learning how to exist in the world around her. After losing her owner, her life was completely turned upside down, and she's now looking for a home that can give her structure, patience, and guidance as she settles in.

Cleo is very sweet with people and loves attention, but she is also extremely excitable and does not yet understand her size. She will need an adopter who is comfortable handling a large, strong dog and is committed to working on basic manners and impulse control.

She has done well with her brother Atlas, but interactions with other dogs have been inconsistent. Cleo can be sassy and has not done well in limited introductions to new dogs, so she will require slow, structured introductions and continued socialization. Because of this, she may do best as the only dog or with a very experienced home willing to put in the work.

She is adjusting well to crate training and does well in the car. Like Atlas, she hasn't had many life experiences yet, so everything is exciting and sometimes overwhelming. She has a lot of energy and absolutely loves time outside.

Cleo will need a committed, experienced adopter willing to provide training, consistency, and leadership.

No cats or small animals. Dog-savvy home preferred.

Adoption fee is $350+tax, please apply at www.campcompanion.org

With their iconic droopy jowls, expressive eyes, and massive build, Saint Bernards make wonderful family pets, often forming strong bonds with children and adults alike. Their calm demeanor and easygoing attitude make them a favored choice for those seeking a devoted and loving companion.
