🌟 Meet our sweet, gentle girl, Clementine! 🌟 This precious pup is one of the brave souls rescued from a heartbreaking hoarding situation, where she endured life in a freezing home without basic care. Imagine her resilience! Despite her dark past, this three-year-old beauty, weighing only 12.5 pounds, is ready to find a loving forever home where she can shine! 😍 Clementine is a shy little flower, but with a warm heart yearning to love and be loved! She's still learning to trust and will need some time to adjust to her new family. Her ideal buddy? A friendly dog like her companion Guava! 🐕 When Guava's around, Clementine musters up the courage to come out for sweet cuddles and treats! What a testament to the power of friendship! 🥰 While she thrives in the company of other dogs, with whom she shares a cozy kennel, Clementine has never met a cat. But, based on her sweet temperament, she would likely do just fine! She's also getting used to children and would appreciate calm, considerate kids who understand her need for a gentle touch and personal space. A sweet, low-energy kid to provide a warm lap? Now, that's a dream come true for our little Clementine! 🌈 When it comes to her space, Clementine is a model citizen in her crate, keeping it clean and cozy. Car rides? No problem! She enjoys them without a hint of motion sickness. But oh, the leash... it’s a new adventure for her! She’s learning to walk on a leash, though she feels nervous with the pressure. Patience and encouragement will be key as she discovers the world outdoors. 🌍 It's important to mention that while Clementine is crate-trained, she still needs support with potty training, given her past living situations. Her new family should be prepared to guide her patiently as she learns that the outdoors is a safe and welcoming place to do her business. 🌱 Food time is sacred for Clementine. She has a gentle nature and prefers to eat in peace, away from others, since she has learned to back off if another dog is near. She's been known to share space without issues and is less prone to resource guarding, making her an absolute gem! 💎 This lovely lady has a calm demeanor but is expected to bring out her playful side as she continues to decompress in her new environment. She’s got some spunk when she wants to! 🌟 Clementine is looking for a kind and patient person who is ready to help her blossom. If you believe in the power of love and companionship, this beauty will undoubtedly return that love tenfold! ❤️ Vet and home checks are required before adopting her. And remember, she can only be adopted within a two-hour drive radius from Hampton, VA. 🌐 To bring Clementine into your heart and home, apply through the Buddy App today! She’s waiting for someone like YOU to help her write her next chapter! 🐾💕
