se 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.

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.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
