About Clove

Clove is a 2-year-old terrier mix in New Albany, OH with a personality that balances play and affection. She enjoys romping with dog friends and does well with cats, though her bouncy play style means she sometimes needs a reminder to slow down. Clove is happiest with another playful dog around and hopes for a family that will include her in plenty of daily activities. She’s crate trained and considers her crate a safe retreat, especially when lined with soft blankets. Potty training is still a work in progress, with occasional house accidents and some encouragement needed to venture out to the yard. Clove greets new people with an open energy and loves toys—she can toss them for herself or play with any willing pup or person nearby. After a busy play session, she will curl up close for a nap, proving herself a top-notch snuggle buddy. Clove originally arrived at the rescue with her three puppies and, though timid at first, has blossomed into a lively, loving companion ready to find her home. A fenced yard is preferred, as she loves to do zoomies outside. She hasn’t lived with children but seems suited for families with older kids comfortable with her energy level. Clove’s cheerful attitude and love for car rides make her an ideal adventure partner, and she’s ready for the next chapter. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
