Meet Cleopatra Cleopatra is a female, approximately 1-year-old sweetheart who was found as a stray. Thankfully, we were able to secure a foster home right away so she didn't have to enter a shelter-and she's been blossoming ever since. Cleopatra prefers slow, thoughtful introductions, but once she trusts you, she is incredibly affectionate and eager for love. She's settling in beautifully and continues to show just how special she is. What we've learned about Cleopatra so far: Not microchipped (lost dog update) Very affectionate and seeks pets and attention Not food aggressive Knows "stay" Does great staying home alone Pretty good on leash Loves car rides (so much she's hard to get out of the car!) Loves to play - especially with her stuffy Not a fetch fan, but playful and curious Prefers being indoors Not treat motivated (she's more about experiences and connection) Cleopatra's behavior and play style suggest she is very young at heart. She is absolutely fascinated with all things water-from chasing sprinklers (no matter how cold or wet!) to carefully supervising pool work like a tiny lifeguard. She recently went on a calm car ride through the park to observe other dogs. She handled it very well, only letting out a couple of soft whimpers when dogs got close, and stayed relaxed and curious the entire time. Overall, a wonderful confidence-building experience for her. Health Update: We are currently working to get Cleopatra fully vaccinated and spayed. Ideal Home: Cleopatra will thrive with an adopter who is patient and gentle, giving her a few days to build trust. Offering encouragement and opportunities to grow her self-confidence will help her shine in any environment. If you're willing to move at Cleopatra's pace, you'll be rewarded with a loyal, loving companion.
