Here's Your Quick Peek:
Claire and three of her siblings arrived in rescue at 8.5 weeks old. Her mom is an American Standard Poodle, and we have no idea who dad is.
Claire has plenty of personality and loves being around people. She is playful, curious, affectionate, and always ready to see what is happening around her.
Must have:
Claire is young, active, and needs canine friends. If she will be an only dog, her family must provide regular opportunities for her to socialize and play with other dogs. Claire is not afraid of big or small dogs and enjoys playing with both.
A securely fenced yard is required.
Exercise:
Claire is a young puppy, so she is either busy playing and exploring or ready for a nap and some cuddles! She needs lots of physical and mental stimulation every day.
Claire loves her play mats and toys and can entertain herself for a while. She especially enjoys exploring the backyard and discovering new things.
Best with:
Other friendly, playful dogs; lots of attention and companionship; a family who enjoys an active puppy; a family committed to training and socialization; a securely fenced yard; and a family who wants to include her in everyday adventures.
Claire would love to be a go-everywhere companion and enjoys being outside and going for walks.
Not ideal for:
Claire would not be the best match for a low-energy family, a home that doesn't want to put the time and effort into training and socializing a puppy, or a family where she would be left alone for long periods.
She is also not appropriate for a home with allergies or concerns over a dog that sheds.
Energy level: HIGH
Claire loves playing with people and dogs, but she also has a little independent streak. Give her some toys and she can happily entertain herself for a while.
Claire is a happy, active puppy who is still learning about the world. House training is a work in progress, but she is doing well so far. Leash training is new, and she has had minimal experience with car rides - but she has enjoyed them so far.
She is ready to learn, grow, and become a wonderful lifelong companion!
Claire is looking for a family who will enjoy watching her grow and discovering all the personality she has to offer. She wants to play, explore, learn, cuddle, and be part of the family.
If you're looking for a playful, curious, affectionate puppy with a fun independent streak, Claire may be the perfect little girl for you!
Good with dogs: Yes!
Claire loves dogs and enjoys having canine friends. If she is an only dog, regular playdates and socialization will be important.
Good with kids:
Good with Kids: Claire hasn't met children yet, but she loves everyone she has met so far.
Cats: Unknown, she has never been around cats. Claire is in a foster home where there are no cats.
Fun fact:
Claire loves to be carried around and enjoys playing in the backyard. She is a curious little explorer and sometimes entertains herself investigating the plants. Her family will need to make sure there are no poisonous or unsafe plants where Claire can reach them.
And one of Claire's cutest qualities? She actually enjoys having her teeth brushed! She also enjoys her nightly cleanup routine, which is pretty impressive for such a young puppy.
