Story
Meet Clara Bow, a one-of-a-kind puppy with a joyful spirit, an adventurous heart, and endless love to give.
Clara is blind and deaf and was born with microphthalmia (underdeveloped eyes) due to her merle genetics. While this is a permanent condition, Clara doesnâÂÂt know sheâÂÂs any different. She experiences the world through touch, smell, vibration, and sunshine, and she approaches life with confidence, curiosity, and pure joy.
This special girl loves being connected to those around her. Whether sheâÂÂs cuddled up next to her favorite person, following a canine friend around the yard, or roughhousing with her dog buddies, Clara thrives on companionship. She forms deep bonds and finds comfort in having friends nearby. Because of this, Clara is looking for a home with at least one friendly resident dog to help her continue building confidence and enjoying all of lifeâÂÂs adventures.
Clara is playful, affectionate, and full of personality. She loves chasing the wind, splashing in the garden hose, sniffing out hidden treasures, solving food puzzles, and basking in the warmth of the sun. Watching Clara zoom around the yard with her signature bunny hops is enough to make anyone smile.
Like any puppy, Clara is still learning. She is making great progress with potty training and consistently uses potty pads or goes outside. She learns through positive reinforcement, gentle touch cues, consistency, and patience. Once she maps out her surroundings, she navigates them remarkably well and quickly settles into routines.
Because Clara experiences the world differently, she is looking for adopters who are ready to embrace her unique needs and help her continue thriving. Previous dog experience is strongly preferred, as ClaraâÂÂs care and safety require thoughtful management and understanding.
What Clara lacks in sight and hearing, she more than makes up for in resilience, happiness, and love. She doesnâÂÂt spend a single moment feeling sorry for herself, and neither should you. Clara Bow is living proof that joy isnâÂÂt about what you can see or hear. ItâÂÂs about feeling safe, loved, and free to be yourself.
