Description
Dog Breed: Shepherd / Mixed (medium coat). 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 exactly who she is.

Breed overview
Overview:
A mongrel, mutt, or mixed-breed dog, is a dog that is not the result of breeding within an existing breed or to modify or create a breed and belongs to no breed. In the United States, the term "mixed-breed" is a favored synonym over "mongrel" among many who wish to avoid negative connotations associated with the latter term. The implication that such dogs must be a mix of defined breeds may stem from an inverted understanding of the origins of dog breeds. Pure breeds have been, for the most part, artificially created from random-bred populations by human selective breeding with the purpose of enhancing desired physical, behavioral, or temperamental characteristics. Dogs that are not purebred are not necessarily a mix of such defined breeds. Therefore, among experts and fans of such dogs, "Mongrel" is still the preferred term.
