Meet Clara! 🌟 Clara is a beautiful 15-month-old young dog who came to our rescue as part of a very special litter of 11 puppies, along with their mom. Mom’s DNA confirmed she is a Malinois/German Shepherd mix, and because the puppies all looked so different, DNA testing was done on several of them. Two siblings tested as a balanced mix of Golden Retriever, German Shepherd, Husky, and Belgian Malinois, while another tested as 50% Australian Shepherd mixed with mom’s Malinois/German Shepherd blend—proof that this litter had more than one dad! Clara looked like she could fall into either group, so we did her DNA as well. Even though she’s on the smaller side, her results placed her in the Golden Retriever group: she is 26% Golden Retriever, 26% Belgian Malinois, 22% Siberian Husky, and 16% German Shepherd. While Clara may be one of the smaller pups in the litter, her size does not affect her confidence one bit. She holds her own with all of her brothers and sisters and is always right in the middle of the fun. She’s playful, curious, affectionate, and full of personality. Clara is an active dog who will need daily exercise and regular activity to stay happy and well-balanced. Like her siblings, she’s always ready for the next adventure. But she also has a wonderfully sweet side—she can happily sit for long stretches while you rub her belly, soaking up every bit of affection. She does well with other dogs and enjoys being part of a pack. Clara has not yet been tested with cats. Clara is vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed. She is nearly fully potty trained and would thrive in a home where her training can continue with consistency, patience, and love. If you’re looking for a confident, playful girl with a sweet cuddly side, Clara may be the perfect addition to your family 🐾💕 💙 Don’t wait! *Apply to adopt Clara through the Buddy App today!*
