About Clarence
Clarence is a 5 1/2-year-old Irish Greyhound, born on May 1, 2020, making him a steady Taurus—expect a calm, loyal presence in your home. Recently returned through no fault of his own, Clarence has won the hearts of everyone he meets, especially those caring for him in Ireland. He started out unsure of his surroundings but has grown more confident, especially when he has the company of another dog. Clarence thrives when he has a doggy buddy—this is where his personality truly shines. He prefers quiet environments and takes comfort in his favorite bed, happy to settle in for long sessions of cuddles and love. New places and situations can still make him nervous, but gentle encouragement and a friendly companion help him adjust. Clarence is house trained and happiest in a calm home, ideally with a social dog to continue building his confidence. He is fine with small dogs and loves walks, though he may need extra reassurance in unfamiliar settings. Clarence has SLO, an immune-mediated disease causing brittle nails; he’ll need lifelong medication for this manageable condition. Give Clarence a chance at a stable, loving home that can meet his need for companionship and understanding, and he will reward you every day. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
