Description
Dog Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier (medium coat). Meet Cleopatra (Cleo) Cleopatra is settling into foster life beautifully and showing her true, sweet nature. She can be a little jumpy at first, but once she feels safe she sticks close, sleeps peacefully, and enjoys being near her people. She already feels like the kind of dog who can easily blend into a homeâs daily routine. Her playful side is starting to come out as she relaxes. Cleo loves a ball and happily chases, shares, and gives it up again with a constantly wagging tail. Sheâs also a quick learnerâstairs were scary at first, but sheâs already mastering them. She has excellent house manners and has been reliably going potty outside, even in bad weather. Cleo walks nicely on leash, is calm and easy to handle, and enjoys exploring her surroundings. Sheâs friendly with people, accepts petting, and is treat motivated. Around other dogs sheâs curious and playful, showing interest and play bows, and would likely do well with calm, tolerant canine companions. Shelter life has been stressful for Cleopatra, and she can seem barky or nervous in a kennel setting, but outside of it she is relaxed, affectionate, and gentle. She is looking for a patient, loving home where she can continue to build confidence and truly shine. More photos of adorable adoptable Cleo can be found here: photos.app.goo.gl/vrAM9L9r9StsH5fD9

Overview:
The American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) is a robust and intelligent breed, originating in the United States from crossbreeding Old English Terriers and Old English Bulldogs for dog-fighting purposes. Physically, they are medium-sized, known for their muscular build, broad heads, and powerful jaws, typically weighing between 30-60 pounds. Their coats are short and come in a wide array of colors. Temperamentally, a well-socialized APBT is often described as loyal, affectionate, and people-oriented, displaying a playful and sometimes clownish demeanor. They can be excellent family companions, provided they receive consistent training and early socialization, though their high energy levels mean they thrive with active owners. While they can adapt to apartment living with sufficient exercise, a house with a secure yard is often preferred. Notable health considerations include a predisposition to hip and elbow dysplasia, allergies, and certain heart conditions.
