My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Clara!

This gentle island girl has already experienced so much suffering in her short life.  After giving birth to 10 puppies on the streets of Puerto Rico she was hit by a car and needed emergency surgery to repair her hip and knee aal while still being a mother.  She has been a absolute gem for her foster mom in Puerto Rico where she has mastered house training, living with cats and just being a happy social pup that somehow still trusts and loves people.  She is ready to fly to the US to find her forever home now that she is healed.  Her puppies have all found their happily ever after, now its her turn!  Clara is 1-2 years old, 45 lbs, spayed and current on vaccines.  She can be in Virginia before Christmas if she has a family waiting here for her.  Complete an application today to secure her spot on our final transport of the year.

Adoption fee $395
