My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Cleo is a playful, bouncy pup full of typical puppy energy! She's still learning her manners but always stays gentle, even when jumping up to greet you with an excited "hello - Attentive to her friends, she knows 'sit' and takes treats gently.
More than anything, Cleo loves to cuddle and shower you with affection. She's a big, sweet cuddle bug who just adores being close.

Eligible for rescue, foster, and adoption. Meet Cleopatra at ACCT Philly any day of the week from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., or email foster@acctphilly.org to express interest in fostering her.

Behavior notes:
Per volunteer 9/14: Super sweet puppy girl who just wants snuggles! Food motivated so will likely be easy to train, peed outside!!

Per volunteer 9/14: Took Cleopatra out with another volunteer today and she continues to be the most perfect little puppy. Super sweet and wiggly.

9/12/24 volunteer notes: Cleopatra is a perfect puppy with typical puppy behavior! She's loose and bouncy and playful and is learning manners still. She will jump up on you with very gentle mouthy play but she's also attentive to her handler! She seems to know "sit already and takes treats gently. She's a big cuddle bug and so sweet.
