About Clementine

Make their next chapter their best one yet. Say hello to Miss Clementine! This gentle girl is approximately 2 years old and brings a sweet and calm presence wherever she goes. Thought to be a Great Pyrenees mix, Clementine arrived at the shelter with her sister Heidi after being found running together near Harrison. While she may be shy at first and take some time to warm up, once she feels safe, she absolutely adores snuggling close to her humans. For Clementine's long-term happiness, a home without small children is essential due to her size and initial lack of confidence. She would do well with cats, as she tends to be more fearful than confrontational, and could potentially live with another dog if introduced with care and patience. Clementine has recently been treated for an abscess, which is why her side is shaved, but she has fully recovered and is now cleared by the vet. Her adoption will include up-to-date vaccinations, deworming, flea and ear mite treatments, spay surgery, any medical care needed during her stay, and a complete vet checkup. If you are looking for a truly affectionate companion who will repay your kindness in loyalty and love, Clementine is waiting for you at Hope's Haven Animal Shelter. Your new best friend is just one click away.
