About Cleopatra’s Breed:
Hounds are known for their incredible sense and laid-back charm. They are friendly, loyal, and develop deep/strong bonds with their families. They are independent thinkers, gentle and easy going, and can be curious explorers. Hounds make great family pets and truly become another member of their human family.
Meet Cleopatra — a 4-month-old Hound mix with the sweetest freckles and a heart full of love!
At 20 lbs and growing, Cleo is a gentle, easygoing pup who’s already crate-trained and making great strides with potty training (thanks to her love of treats!). She’s a cuddle queen who adores snuggling up on the couch with her favorite chew toy and her people. Though she’s still a puppy, she leans more couch potato than chaos—except for those adorable bursts of zoomies that bring out her playful side.
Why You’ll Love Cleo:
• Crate-trained and sleeps through the night like a champ
• Great with dogs and respectful with cats (though she might chase a playful one!)
• Loves kids and thrives in a warm, loving home
• Mastered leash walks and loves sniffing her way through the neighborhood
• Food-motivated and eager to learn
• No behavioral issues—just a mellow, sweet soul
Cleo is a little shy when approached too quickly and may retreat to her crate, but she’s learning to trust and grow more confident every day. She’d do best in a low to moderately active home where she can tag along for life’s adventures and soak up all the love you have to give.
Whether you’re a first-time dog owner or a seasoned pup parent, Cleopatra is the kind of companion who’ll melt your heart and make every day feel a little more special.
Cleopatra’s Ideal Home:
• Best with a family who is ready to keep up her training as she is learning a lot of new things as a puppy!
• A home that can continue to work on her potty training
• A home with kids, dogs, or other playmates!
• A home that is looking for a cuddle buddy and has an open spot on the couch for Cleo!
