This fabulous chunk of cuteness is Clover, a 5 year old, 45 pound pittie type of girl who is oh-so-ready to become part of your pack. Her grunts and snorts and occasional exuberant zoomies will lift your spirits daily!
Clover came to us as a stray from Sonoma County Animal Services and it seems as though she was a completely backyard dog with minimal human interaction. While in foster she has made great progress in learning how to accept and solicit attention and trusting her human friends and all the good things that happen when they’re around. Clover’s journey has been greatly helped with the reassuring presence of her foster brother, Brodie, the resident 12 year-old chocolate lab. Her confidence soars when he’s around and she is much more willing to be open to novel stimuli.
Things Clover likes:
* A soft, female voice
* string cheese
* her crate- to sleep in at night
– to hang out in during the day
– to stay in while you’re away from the house
* playing in the water from the garden hose
* being towel dried off after a water session
* string cheese, some vegetables and, of course, Breakfast and Dinner
* practicing sits and downs with …string cheese
* short walks in the neighborhood
* long naps
* engaging in some highly entertaining zoomies in the backyard after the long naps
* to know where you are but doesn’t necessarily need to be in the same room
* and … string cheese
Not a big fan of:
* extended cuddling
* hanging out on the couch or any furniture
* long walks
* living with a man in the house
* peanut butter
Clover needs:
* to live in a female, adult household
* to live with at least one friendly, respectful dog
* a quiet, secure crate location
* a quiet, calm environment
* extra time to get comfortable and build trust
Clover has shown little to no prey drive and we think she would be open to living in a house with a dog-savvy cat.
