Cleo

Female · Adult · 5 years

Cleo is a lovely girl with a lot of love to give! She is both cozy and affectionate, enjoys people and really appreciates companionship and attention. But Cleo is not just a dog for sofa cuddles. She also has a playful and energetic side that loves to come out when she gets the chance to run off. Chasing balls and racing around in our large, fenced-in dog park is her favorite thing! She can get real joyful and give you those "zoomies"! On walks, she likes to explore her surroundings and especially use her nose. The woods are her favorite place where she likes to walk with her nose to the ground and discover all the exciting things there are to find. We think she might enjoy trying out tracking. Cleo is a dog with many fine qualities, a lot of personality and her own charm. Cleo is a mix of amstaff and cane corso, two types of dogs with both strength and guarding instincts. This is also something that shows up in her. In a home environment, she has shown that she can guard things she thinks are valuable, such as bones, toys and other objects. It is therefore important that her signals and warnings are always respected and that you have knowledge of how resource defense should be handled in a safe and thoughtful way. On walks, she usually walks nicely on a leash, but can become strong when she really wants to go in a certain direction. She can also react to other dogs by barking, but it usually works to distract her if you catch the situation in time. Cleo prefers it when it is a bit quieter around her and too much noise and impressions can be exhausting. She also needs continued training and patience around nail clipping, where the focus needs to be on gradually building a safer and more positive feeling towards handling. Cleo is looking for a home with a safe, calm and dog-savvy person who has experience with guarding behaviors and resource defense. She needs someone who can read her signals, understand her needs and respond to her with both knowledge and respect. With the right conditions, clear routines and a thoughtful approach, you can help Cleo feel safer and create a daily life where she doesn't have to take responsibility for everything herself. She should not live with young children, but needs a more adult and calm home where she can be given space and avoid situations that are difficult for her. We think she would thrive best in a quieter area, preferably with proximity to the woods and nice walking trails. Owners who like to be outdoors, let her use her nose and at the same time appreciate her cozy and affectionate side could suit her well. Cleo needs someone who sees the good in her, understands what is difficult and wants to build on the relationship in her own time.

En kärvänlig och trevlig tjej söker ett hem Din gåva hjälper fler hundar till trygghet och ett nytt hem. Cleo är en härlig tjej med mycket kärlek att ge! Hon är både mysig och tillgiven, tycker om människor och uppskattar verkligen sällskap och uppmärksamhet. Men Cleo är inte bara en hund för soffmys. Hon har också en lekfull och fartfylld sida som gärna kommer fram när hon får chansen att springa av sig. Att jaga bollar och rusa runt i vår stora, inhägnade rastgård är bland det bästa hon vet! Då kan hon få ordentliga glädjeryck och bjuda på riktiga ”zoomies”! På promenaderna tycker hon om att utforska omgivningen och framför allt att använda nosen. Skogen är en favoritplats där hon gärna går med nosen i marken och undersöker allt spännande som finns att upptäcka. Vi tror faktiskt att hon skulle kunna uppskatta att få prova på spårarbete. Cleo är en hund med många fina kvaliteter, mycket personlighet och en alldeles egen charm. Cleo är en blandning av amstaff och cane corso, två hundtyper med både styrka och vaktinstinkt. Det är också något som märks hos henne. I hemmiljö har hon visat att hon kan vakta sådant hon tycker är värdefullt, exempelvis ben, leksaker och andra föremål. Det är därför viktigt att hennes signaler och varningar alltid respekteras och att man har kunskap om hur resursförsvar ska hanteras på ett tryggt och genomtänkt sätt. På promenader går hon oftast fint i kopplet, men kan bli stark när hon verkligen vill åt ett visst håll. Hon kan även reagera på andra hundar genom att skälla, men det brukar gå att avleda henne om man hinner fånga upp situationen i tid. Cleo trivs bäst när det är lite lugnare omkring henne och för mycket ljud och intryck kan bli påfrestande. Hon behöver också fortsatt träning och tålamod kring kloklippning, där fokus behöver ligga på att stegvis bygga en tryggare och mer positiv känsla inför hanteringen. Cleo söker ett hem hos en trygg, lugn och hundvan person som har erfarenhet av hundar med vaktbeteenden och resursförsvar. Hon behöver någon som kan läsa hennes signaler, förstå hennes behov och bemöta henne med både kunskap och respekt. Med rätt förutsättningar, tydliga rutiner och ett genomtänkt förhållningssätt kan man hjälpa Cleo att känna sig tryggare och skapa en vardag där hon inte behöver ta ansvar för allt själv. Hon ska inte bo med småbarn, utan behöver ett vuxnare och lugnare hem där man kan ge henne utrymme och undvika situationer som blir svåra för henne. Vi tror att hon skulle trivas allra bäst i ett lugnare område, gärna med närhet till skog och fina promenadstråk. Ägare som tycker om att vara ute, låta henne använda nosen och samtidigt uppskattar hennes mysiga och kärleksfulla sida skulle kunna passa henne fint. Cleo behöver någon som ser det fina i henne, förstår det som är svårt och vill bygga vidare på relationen i hennes takt.

About Cleo

What life with Cleo looks like

Cleo is a large adult dog waiting at Hundstallet in Stockholm.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇸🇪Adopting from Sweden

Swedish shelters require an adoption application and home visit. Animals are chipped, vaccinated, and sterilized. Cross-border placements within the EU use the standard pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Cleo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Cleo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hundstallet handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Cleo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Cleo if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hundstallet will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Cleo already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Cleo isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Hundstallet early rather than rehoming privately; they know Cleo and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (SV). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
