Clarence is a quiet little gentleman with the most wiry hair. He seems to believe very strongly in two things : polite coexistence with other dogs and enthusiastic participation in meals. Clarence appears to be mostly toothless, but this has not shaken his confidence about eating in the slightest. If anything, he approaches food with the calm determination of a dog who has already decided the situation will work itself out in his favor. He is generally a quiet dog, but will let you know if dinner is more than 10 seconds late. Clarence is housetrained, walks reasonably well on a leash, and does not mind going for the occasional car ride. He sleeps quietly through the night and behaves himself properly when left home alone. He loves food, treats, plush toys, chew toys, balls, walking and getting up close and personal with people. On walks, he would prefer not to have to interact with strange dogs. Best to give them a wide berth, for everyone's peace of mind. He can see fine but has some hearing loss. He's fine with going up and down the stairs. He needs a moderate amount of daily exercise.. He is hoping his new family will have a fenced yard, people that are home most of the time, and lots of snuggles. He'd like to go for plenty of leash walks and other adventures. Clarence is approx 12 years old and 9 1/2 lbs. fostered in Rockville, MD please apply at mirishaven.org
