My story

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

Meet Clara – World Champion of the Head Tilt! ??

Hi there, I’m Clara, a 7-month-old terrier mix with a heart full of love and a head that just can’t stop tilting when I hear something interesting. If you’ve ever wanted a pup who listens intently and looks adorable doing it—I’m your girl.

I’m a friendly, affectionate adventurer who’s always up for some snuggles after a good exploration session. I love being around people, but I’m also okay hanging out on my own when needed. That said, nothing beats a cozy cuddle!

I’ve got a bit of spunk and sass, which makes life with me fun and full of personality. If you’re looking for a pup with a little zip in her step and some quirky charm, we might just be a perfect match.

When I came to PAWS, I was underweight, but thanks to lots of care (and food!), I’m now a much healthier, happier girl. I love playing with my sister Violet and my buddy Pork Chop. I get along well with other dogs, though I prefer to eat in a crate or separate space—except when it comes to Violet, who I somehow let steal all my food.

I haven’t met any kids yet, but I think I’d like them! Sometimes I “cob” on people (a gentle nibble like I’m eating corn on the cob)—it’s just my silly way of showing affection.

I’ve done well being crated for a few hours, and I’m making great progress with housetraining. Like any young pup, I’ll need someone who can stick to a routine and help me keep up the good work.

I walk nicely on leash and enjoy car rides. I’ve even met a three-legged cat (I was more interested in snacks than chasing it!). I did bark but then back away when it came toward me, so if you have a cat, I’m open to further testing.

If you’re looking for a sweet, spunky, head-tilting cuddle bug to join your family, I hope you’ll come meet me!

Love,
Clara

Additional adoption info

An adoption application must be completed prior to coordinating a private meet and greet with the dog's foster parent. An adoption contract is signed at the time of adoption. Veterinarian reference and a home check is also required. Since we do home checks for all potential adopters, we prefer to adopt only within the central Ohio area. All dogs have an adoption fee of $300.00 which covers their vaccinations (including rabies, heartworm testing and heartworm prevention) while in our care, worming, microchipping and spay or neutering prior to adoption. Please email us at contactus@powellpaws.org if you would like to meet one of our great, adoptable dogs.

More about this rescue

PAWS (Powell Animal Welfare Society) is a 501(c)(3), all-volunteer, foster-based dog rescue serving the Columbus, Ohio area. Our volunteer rescue, provides veterinary care and finds loving homes for stray, neglected, and/or abused dogs from overpopulated shelters in Ohio and neighboring states.

PAWS strives to eliminate the needless euthanasia of homeless animals, one dog, one adopter at a time. We are in need of more loving foster homes for homeless dogs. PAWS can only save a dog if we have a foster home to care for it since we have NO kennel. Each foster home provides shelter and care, while PAWS provides food, veterinary care (including spay/neuter) and all necessary supplies such as crates, bowls, leashes, collars, etc.
