About Clara

Meet Clara! She’s turned from a shy little pup into a delightful cuddle bug. Clara was rescued from a situation related to breeder hoarding, and although she started off scared, with love and patience, she's now a playful and affectionate girl who adores cuddles and giving kisses. Clara is around one year old and weighs about 10 pounds. This purebred Shih Tzu has a perfect mix of playful energy and snuggly sweetness. She knows how to sit and go into her kennel, is pad trained, and is getting the hang of outdoor potty time. We’re also teaching her to walk on a leash and helping her gain more confidence around people. Does Clara sound like the friend you’ve been looking for? She gets along well with other dogs and is ready to meet her forever family. Click apply to start the adoption process.
