Clara spent years fending for herself on the streets, raising litter after litter with barely any comfort or safety. She’s now getting a taste of real home life in her foster placement, where she’s adjusting bit by bit. Clara is timid at first, but each day she gets a little braver and more relaxed. Even though she’s been through a lot, she has no aggression—just a gentle longing for affection from a patient, understanding family. She settles quietly in the house and is content in a crate. Her calm nature shines through as she learns that she can trust people. At around 3 to 4 years old and weighing about 39 lbs, Clara is a smallish Labrador Retriever mix who’s spayed, up to date on vaccines, and heartworm tested. She gets along with other dogs, cats, and even children, so she’ll fit nicely into most homes that can offer gentle guidance and time to bloom. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
