Story
*Adoption Fee Partially SponsoredHe may not be red, but he is a big and loving boy. Clifford, a 3 year old Plott Hound mix, was surrendered here after his owners became homeless. Originally picked up as a stray by them years ago, although it's clear from his joyous personality that Clifford was loved, there were limits to his owner's ability to care for him. Clifford was hit by a car at least three times, and he had unfortunately never seen a vet before we got him. Due to this, he does have an old injury on his front leg. The leg was broken and although splinted at the time of injury, the bones were not able to be properly aligned. This caused the leg to be shorter and for the leg to bow when pressure gets placed on it. After x-rays of the leg, we opted to see an orthopedic surgeon - our desire was and is to give Clifford the best quality of life possible. Unfortunately, the specialist did not think that there is any surgical fix for an injury this old. Our options are limited - amputation if the leg seems to cause him discomfort or if not, keeping his leg as is.Clifford has been in foster care with a staff member for the last few weeks. Thanks to this, we can confirm that he is housebroken, loves his crate, adores children, and co-exists wonderfully with other dogs. He loves to cuddle, and after just a few minutes of exercise, he's ready for bed. Clifford is the definition of a "himbo" - affectionate, purehearted, a bit of a meathead - he has no idea how big and strong he is, and allllll he wants is affection. He definitely believes he is a lapdog sized. He's a big fan of fetch and loves to catch the frisbee. He is such a loving, joyful, and goofy dog bursting with personality. He did not deserve the cruel hand he was repeatedly dealt. Our goal is to facilitate making the rest of his life so amazing that it makes up for what he has lived through during his first 3 years.
