If interested in Clara, apply here: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/CPAR/Dog At just 4 months old and 16 lbs, Clara is a gentle, soulful little Sato learning that the world can be a safe and cozy place. A Sato is a Puerto Rican street dog, and like many of them, Clara is taking everything in stride as she adjusts to life in a home. Clara is a calm, quiet girl who doesn’t bark and is happiest curled up in her bed or crate. She sleeps soundly through the night and keeps her crate clean, showing just how well mannered she already is. When new people come into the home, she quietly removes herself and settles in her crate, which seems to be her safe space. She may be a bit unsure at first, but she warms up quickly to her people and has already built a sweet bond with her foster family and their kids. Once she feels comfortable, Clara’s playful side starts to shine. She loves toys and will happily engage in little bursts of play between her many naps. She is learning the leash and is doing great, even letting kids help guide her on walks. Every now and then she gets a little burst of excitement and does some happy bouncing while on leash, which is as adorable as it sounds. Potty training is coming along nicely. She has started to show clear cues like pacing and crying when she needs to go out and tends to stick to one area in the yard. Like any puppy, she has had a few accidents, but she is learning quickly. Clara did well walking alongside another dog and would likely enjoy having a canine companion to help build her confidence and give her someone to play with. She would thrive in a patient home that allows her to continue coming out of her shell at her own pace. She is a special little girl with a calm, loving presence and so much potential to blossom into an incredibly devoted companion. Clara is being fostered in Pikesville, MD.
