Clarabelle is the observant one. Mostly black with charming white accents, she has a calm, watchful presence and a heart that’s still learning how big the world really is.
Clarabelle has lived her whole life outdoors, so house training will be part of her transition. She’s unsure of this new indoor chapter, but she’s incredibly gentle and eager to please. She knows some basic commands and is already showing how responsive she can be once she feels safe.
Clarabelle came from a farm environment where she did well with cats, chickens, and kids, and she’s familiar with being around other dogs. Meet and greets with any resident dogs will be required to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone.
Clarabelle needs an adopter who understands cattle dog mixes aren’t couch ornaments. She’ll need daily exercise, structure, and mental stimulation to truly shine. With the right routine, she could adapt beautifully to indoor living or an active indoor/outdoor setup with the proper setup.
She’s the kind of dog who might start out quietly watching from the sidelines…then stick by your side like she’s always belonged there.
