Cleopawtra is a 2-year-old female Puggle weighing 17 pounds.
Sadly, Bakersfield continues to face a serious pet overpopulation crisis, with many dogs ending up in overcrowded, high-intake shelters where euthanasia rates remain heartbreakingly high. That’s why we step in early, taking in surrenders and strays from the area and bringing them to our facility in Thousand Oaks before they ever enter the shelter system.
Cleopawtra came from a home that simply had more dogs than they could safely manage. None of the animals were spayed or neutered, and the situation had become unmanageable, with 14 dogs living on the property. Shelter Hope Rescue stepped in and took in four adult dogs and five puppies so they could each have a chance at a better life.
Cleopawtra loves people, enjoys chew toys, and gets along well with other dogs. She has a medium energy level and is athletic, confident, curious, and playful, with that classic pug enthusiasm and a quirky, engaging personality that keeps you smiling.
She is clever and quite springy, so Cleopawtra will need a home with a tall, secure fence to keep her safe.
Now spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, Cleopawtra is ready to find her forever home.
