From Starpaws Rescue

Cleopatra's story is one of rescue, resilience, and second chances. She was rescued from the sewer as a tiny pup by our very own director, Lisa, and her siblings. At just 9 weeks old, she was adopted into a loving home where she spent the next six years as a cherished family member. When her owner recently passed away, she was surrendered to Rancho Cucamonga shelter. The shelter staff went above and beyond to track us down, and we were determined to bring her back where she belonged. It took effort, coordination, and transport to make it happen, but we knew she deserved a second chance. Now 6 years old, Cleopatra is a medium-large mixed breed with stunning blue and amber eyes and a gorgeous cream and tan coat. She carries the weight of her past gently—she's a bit shy at first and reserved when meeting new people. But with patience and kindness, she opens up beautifully. She's loving, affectionate, and genuinely enjoys human connection once she trusts you. We're still getting to know how she does with other dogs, but she's been an absolute joy to have around. After everything she's been through, Cleopatra deserves a home where she can finally settle in, feel safe, and be loved for…

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.
