Clifford

My story

Hi. My name is Clifford, and I am a Lab mix born approx 12/7/23. I met my foster parents in a Cub parking lot, foster Mom crouched down to meet me, and I snuggled in real hard, melted in her arms.  Since then, I have been her new shadow.    She says I have some 'battle scars' both physically and mentally from my past, the world seems like a bi,g scary place, but I am coming out of my shell and starting to show my playful side.  I am not even afraid of loud noises in the shop, such as table saws and air compressors.    I am potty trained, but had only 2 accidents because I was afraid of being picked up.  I am a bit timid & cower down when people reach down to me.    I do like my kennel, I like to go hang out in there willingly to play with toys & nap. I sleep in the kennel all night, too.  When they leave me in the kennel and leave the house, I bark. One time, I barked for about 10 minutes, then settled down & took a nap.  A couple of other times, I barked and howled for an hour or two. Separation anxiety?!  Yesterday we went for a car ride, I did great and no barking when they went to shop.   I do not pull on the leash when out for walks.  Mom says I want to please, know some basic commands, and with some work I can learn quickly.  My energy level is pretty mellow right now, I really like to nap!   I have not met any other dogs, cats, or children yet, but my bio from June 1st on NDLB /Facebook says I am good with other dogs.      The only naughty thing I have done was to drag out a sock or two, a shoe, & pj pants. Not sure if they would get chewed up, or just snuggled with!   Mom says I am a great cuddler, and as cute as can be!   Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.
