Story
Clara is a 6-month-old German Shepherd/Husky mix with the heart of an oversized lap dog. At 35 lbs, she’s a sweet, smart girl who doesn't believe in being too close to her humans. She will often try to lay on top of them and lick their face (personal space is not a thing for her).Clara has moderate energy for her age and breeds. When she's excited, she loves to chase her tail and pounce on balls like a kitten. Clara has been off leash on a walk through the woods with her foster siblings and did well, sticking close to the dogs and recalled easily. She wants to stay near her people or a dog she trusts. She loves playing with squeaky toys, and especially with other dogs, then is perfectly happy relaxing with her humans afterward. Clara can be timid initially with new people but warms up quickly. She would love a confident doggy friend to help her continue building confidence, as barking dogs and loud noises can make her nervous. She does well with cats, respecting their boundaries, and is gentle with kids (though she may jump up when excited to say hello).She’s still working on house training and currently needs frequent potty breaks, including at night. Clara is not crate-trained and does better when left in a room rather than a kennel, as she has some separation anxiety and may whine or claw briefly before settling. She will do best with humans who are home often, though treats, bones, and reassurance go a long way with her. She’s quiet overall and eager to please, as she corrects easily and learns quickly.If you’re looking for a loving, affectionate companion who wants to be your shadow and best friend, Clara may be the perfect match.Here are some videos to learn more: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sANP14zfcUU4WRafvQ0_lG_9M7xr-v-b/view?usp=sharinghttps://drive.google.com/file/d/10xcFEm1y6i1UAOF1r89K7QuX0k9iPAfD/view?usp=sharingIf you are interested in Clara, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $550. Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, heartworm/Lyme test, all age-appropriate vaccinations (distemper, rabies, and Bordetella), heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, and microchip implant (including registration). Adoption fees INCLUDE a mandatory sales tax of 7.525%. Age and breed are based on veterinarian and intake professional’s recommendation and not guaranteed as a rescue animal’s history is often unknown. Due to post-adoption services provided, we prefer to adopt within a 150-mile radius of the Twin Cities. However, we will consider up to 250 miles if the foster agrees to travel requirements and staff approval.
