Cleopatra's Story

Cleopatra, better known as Cleo, is the kind of dog who makes you feel safe, loved, and entertained all at once. This beautiful black German Shepherd mix has adorably oversized paws she still seems to be figuring out, which only adds to her goofy charm.<br/><br/>Cleo is a smart, playful, moderate-to-high energy dog who loves exploring the backyard and finding ways to entertain herself. Whether she's playing with another dog, learning a new trick, or proudly showing off her basic commands, she brings enthusiasm and personality to everything she does. She's potty trained, crate trained, and eager to keep learning.<br/><br/>What truly makes Cleo special is her loyalty. She bonds deeply with her people and loves being close without constantly demanding attention. After a day of play and adventure, she's more than happy to cuddle up on the couch and relax beside you.<br/><br/>Cleo has lived with dogs of all sizes in foster care and enjoys having canine companions to play with, though she can also keep herself busy independently. While she has not lived with children, her foster believes she would likely do well with them. Cats may not be the best fit unless her adopter is experienced and committed to training.<br/><br/>If you're searching for a loyal German Shepherd companion who is smart, affectionate, playful, and endlessly devoted, Cleo may be your perfect match.

Meet the Pet & Chat With Our Team We’ll introduce ourselves, tell you about the pet’s personality and history, and answer any general questions, especially if you’re a first-time pet owner. We want to make sure you feel fully informed and supported. ​ ​ 2. What’s Included With Your Adoption Every adoption includes: Spay/neuter (or a scheduled appointment if not yet completed) Microchip Rabies vaccine (usually done at spay/neuter) Core vaccines appropriate for age/species 30 days of behavior & training support through Petcademy Starter bag of food A lifetime safety net: Lifeline will always take the pet back, no matter how long it has been 2-week money-back guarantee (details below!) ​ 3.

Final Steps Before You Go Home Before leaving, we will: Review your pet’s medical history and any remaining vaccines Go over your adoption packet and answer questions about care, introductions, and next steps If the pet still needs spay/neuter, we collect a $50 refundable deposit (fully returned once the surgery is completed). This is required by state law. ​ Our 2-Week Money-Back Guarantee We want every adoption to be a great fit for you and for the pet. If at any point during the first 14 days you feel the match isn’t right, you may return the pet for any reason and receive a full refund of the adoption fee.
