BIO: Once I'm comfortable, I am all in — by your side, watching whatever you're watching, booping your hand the second you stop petting me. I'm calm, gentle, and genuinely low-maintenance in the best way. I love my walks, I love a good cuddle, and I've been told I'm an excellent TV companion. I don't bark, I don't cause drama, and I'm completely house and crate trained. I just need a patient person and a cozy couch. I'm pretty easy to please.
HER FOSTER SAYS: "She loves to go on walks and LOVES to cuddle now. Any time I stop petting her she boops me with her snout until I start again. She is seriously so chill!"

Surrendered by her owner in the USVI along with another dog (believed to be her son). Cleopatra traveled to Brooklyn in late April and is currently in a local foster home.

Cleopatra may share her name with one of history's most commanding figures, but this girl has traded empire-building for something far superior: full-time cuddle companion and devoted couch co-pilot.
Sweet, calm, and deeply loyal, Cleopatra is the kind of dog who becomes genuinely attached to her people — and makes sure they know it. Her signature move is a persistent nose boop to the hand the moment pets stop coming. She is by her foster's side constantly, follows them from room to room, and has been described as affectionate, obedient, and just plain easy to be around. She doesn't bark, doesn't stir things up, and is completely content to just be with her person.
She's fully house and crate trained, good with other dogs, and has been comfortable around kids she's met. She loves her walks and lights up the moment she's heading outside, but she's equally happy relaxing at home. Leash clipping is still a work in progress, but once she's out the door, she's a great walking companion. She takes a little time to get comfortable with new people and environments — she's not a dog who gives it all away in the first five minutes — but she gets there, and when she does, she's completely devoted.
Cleopatra is a great fit for someone who wants a calm, affectionate, low-drama dog who will quickly become their shadow. She'll need a consistent environment and some patience as she adjusts to a new home, but she's already shown she adapts well. The right adopter will get a gentle, loyal companion who takes the whole "by your side" thing very, very seriously. -
