About Clarence
Clarence is an 8-year-old Chihuahua with an oversized heart packed into a tiny frame. At just 8 pounds, he's a bundle of affection who seeks every chance to be in your lap. His favorite activity? Cuddling and soaking up as much human attention as you'll give. Clarence came in as a stray but has proven himself unfazed by his past—he adapts quickly and shines in foster care. Despite his age, don't expect a slow pace. Clarence is full of energy, sprinting around with his signature 'zoomies' and always up for an adventure. His feet splay a bit, though it hasn't dampened his enthusiasm for walks or exploring a fenced yard. When he's not moving, he's calm and quiet, relaxing peacefully on your lap or in his crate. He's easygoing, excellent on a leash, and travels smoothly in the car. Clarence gravitates toward other confident, calm dogs and would be happiest with a similar companion. He hasn't lived with cats, so a feline-free home suits him best. Children aren't ideal unless they're older and respectful; sudden movements can make him uneasy. If you're searching for a small dog who balances cuddle time with bursts of energy, Clarence will fit right into your routine. He's neutered, up to date on vaccines, and ready to settle in with someone patient, gentle, and companionship-minded. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
