About Clove

Clove lives with her foster family in West Jefferson, OH, where she spends her days hiking, playing tug, and romping around the yard with her foster sibling—her long legs give her plenty of bounce for it. She started out nervous at the shelter, but foster care has helped her open up. There’s a joyful side to Clove, along with a bit of sass that makes her stand out. Her foster raves about her sweet, fun nature. Clove does especially well with other dogs and would be happiest with a canine friend to help her settle into a new home. She isn’t suited for homes with cats or small animals, as she has a strong prey drive and likes to chase smaller critters. Clove enjoys the company of older, respectful kids and does best in a home with a fenced-in backyard—she needs room to run and burn off some energy. She’s house trained, tells you when she needs out, and walks politely on leash with a Gentle Leader. Commands like "sit" and "wait" are already in her repertoire. Clove’s adoption fee is fully covered by a donor. Born on August 27, Clove is a Virgo—the loyal type who thrives on routine and outdoor activity. Ready to fall in love?
