Cleo is a beautiful one-year old female Great Dane who was surrendered by her owner to the Washington County Ohio Dog Warden on December 11, 2025.
This gorgeous young lady has a sleek dark gray/slate blue coat with a patches of white on her throat/chest, a long tail, and a classic Great Dane face with expressive brown eyes, a blue/gray nose, a large muzzle, and floppy ears which frame her beautiful face.
These photos of Cleo were taken on January 19th 2026 when HSOV Kennel Techs Emma Dahlgren and Liz Stingley spent time with her in the lobby of our shelter. Cleo was being showered with attention from Emma and Liz, and all three enjoyed socializing with one another. Cleo was relaxed with Emma and Liz, and she posed elegantly while showing off her lovely physique .. And Cleo had learned to 'sit pretty'.
Cleo had been on a safekeeping status when she entered our shelter since she was very underweight and weighed just 65 lbs on December 11th 2025. Our compassionate HSOV staff/kennel techs have taken great care of her with extra gourmet food and extra TLC.
Cleo is available as of February 7, 2026 as "Foster-to-Adopt" only. She will be spayed before being officially adopted. If you would like to give Cleo a loving home, please complete/submit an HSOV Adoption/Foster application for management approval.
