Meet Clara! This sweet, loving pup is an enchanting mix of mystery and affection—definitely the kind of canine companion that can steal hearts with her big eyes! At less than a year old and weighing in at around 35-40 lbs, she’s the perfect cuddle size. Imagine snuggling with a big, fluffy teddy bear, that’s what it’s like to have Clara by your side! 💖 Clara is on a mission to make everyone around her happy—especially her foster mom and her fur siblings! While she loves to play with them, her favorite pastime is soaking up all the love she can get. Can you blame her? With her wonderfully soft coat of dark colors that hints at a bit of shepherd in her lineage, she’s as gorgeous as she is sweet. Did you know that the shepherd breed is known for its loyalty? And Clara embodies that to the fullest! 🐕 This darling girl thrives in an environment where there’s guidance. She’s a follower at heart, so Clara would do wonderfully in a home with a confident doggie companion to help show her the ropes. As she grows and learns, she’ll blossom even further with the right leadership. 🌼 Now, let’s talk about kids! Clara hasn’t lived with them yet, but she's been around young ones and handled herself nicely—just with a little supervision at first, of course! 🌟 Clara is mostly house-trained, thanks to her doggy door, but keep in mind that some extra training may be needed as she settles in. She would also benefit from leash training, as she hasn’t been on regular walks yet. And while she’s okay with being crated when necessary, her real happiness lies in being close to her people. 🏡 Currently, Clara shares her home with some curious cats. While she’s not exactly a cat-friendly pup (she's a bit too interested in them!), she hasn’t shown any aggression. Just a little extra watchfulness is needed when they are in the same space. 🐱 Clara has been spayed, is heartworm negative, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. She’s currently in East TN, but don’t worry—transport can be arranged for just the right forever home! 💌 If Clara has captured your heart, don’t wait another moment—apply to adopt her through the Buddy App! This gentle soul is ready to bring endless joy and cuddles into your life! 🥰
