Meet Cleopatra!

Hi everyone!

My name is Cleopatra but you can call me Cleo. I am the third service dog in training at DogsInVests.  I was born in August of 2019 but didn't become a member of DogsInVests until November. I’m a rescue from the Eau Claire, WI.

What makes me unique is that unlike Ace and Buddy who are American Bench Labradors, I am a field lab. This means I am more petite and much more spunky. Some of the staff say I love too much which I think is a good thing.

My puppy raisers are Barb and Jim. I adore them. We spend lots of time together working on my training. My training at DogsInVests started with basic puppy training. I learned a lot of basic commands such as leave it, stay and free. Moving along in my training, I have now completed my puppy training class and my Canine Good Citizen.

​

DogsInVests have been highly invested in my future and the best outcome for my training. After much consideration it was determined that I would do best with a high energy recipient. After forging a relationship with V.E.T Service Dogs NFP in Chicago, DogsInVests chose my new home. I was paired with Steve in April. Steve is a veteran and a physical therapist. He enjoys a very active lifestyle. I'm very excited for our life together. I will always be a part of the DogsInVests family and I am very excited for my new life with Steve.
