Cleo is a deaf dog who was rescued as a young puppy from a massive flood. She is now an adult, but no one wants to take this beauty out of the shelter. Many years have passed and Cleo is still hoping for a miracle.
Cleo was just a puppy when she was miraculously rescued from a massive flood in Louisiana, USA. She came into the care of volunteers at Safe Haven Animal Rescue. She was looked after by a woman called Ham, who didn’t realise straight away that she was deaf.
Despite her deafness, Cleo acted like the most normal, cheerful puppy. She turned out to be a very kind, sweet and friendly girl. When she got a little older, they started looking for owners for her. But that’s where the sad part of the story began…
Cleo was twice taken in by families – but unfortunately, both times she was returned. Six years have passed since then, and now Cleo is still living at the shelter – hoping that one day kind people will come through its doors who will love her with all their hearts.
“A lot of people say that Cleo is a sweet dog, that she is lovely, and they would love to take her in. But unfortunately, a lot of people said that, but no one wanted to take Cleo,” says the dog’s guardian, Ham.
Volunteers have already visited about 30 animal events with Cleo where she could be adopted – but unfortunately, no one was interested in her. Because of her large size and weight of 40 kilos, as well as her deafness, many people find it hard to look after Cleo…
But according to the shelter staff, this is not the case – she is unpretentious in her care and maintenance, and her deafness does not interfere with her happy canine life at all. Let’s wish this beautiful girl to find the loving home she truly deserves!
