Story
Meet Clara – A Sweet, Squatty Bully Girl Ready for Her Forever Home
Clara is a 3-year-old, 53 lb gray-and-white bully mix with an adorable, compact build and a heart that belongs fully to her people. She first came to us as a stray on 9/22 after roaming the area for several weeks. Though never reclaimed, it was clear she had been cared for before — she arrived in good condition and had previously had a litter.
Clara recently spent time in a home, where she showed just how special she is. She is housebroken, crate trained, walks nicely on leash, rides calmly in the car, and knows how to settle into a routine. She’s especially affectionate with the people she trusts, leaning in for snuggles, nudging for more pets, and happily curling up close. Once she bonds, she bonds deeply.
The shelter environment can be overwhelming for Clara, and she does best in calm, predictable settings. She’s a sensitive girl who appreciates a slower pace and thoughtful introductions, particularly with new people. Given time and space, she opens up beautifully and shows her gentle, loving personality.
Clara would thrive in a quiet home — ideally adult-only or with older, respectful children — with adopters who understand that some dogs just need a little time to feel secure. She does best with routine, consistency, and positive reinforcement, and she’s incredibly responsive when she feels safe.
Clara is:
• Housebroken and crate trained
• Affectionate, loyal, and people-oriented
• Calm in the car and polite on leash
• Eager to bond and be someone’s constant companion
She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations, and she’s ready for a fresh start with a family who will give her the patience and stability she deserves.
She’s not asking for perfection — just patience, kindness, and a home where she can finally exhale and belong.
If you’re looking for a loving, devoted bully who will return your care tenfold, Clara is ready to meet you.
