CLEMENTINE - MALTESE / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Maltese / Mixed (short coat). Meet Clementine – The Sweetheart with a Happy Dance! Seven-year-old Clementine is a sweet, adorable Maltese mix who has traded the shelter for a cozy foster home and is now ready for her forever family. With her happy smile and spunky little bounce when she walks, she’s impossible not to fall for. Clementine is a people-loving girl—especially fond of the men in her life—who will happily keep you company while you work from home, snoozing quietly nearby. She seems to know when the day is done, greeting you with gentle energy and a playful sparkle in the evenings. And if you’ve been away? Get ready for her signature “happy dance” of joyful zoomies and twirls when you return! This smart little lady enjoys belly rubs, snuggles on the couch or bed, and leisurely walks where she can take in all the scents of the world. She’s more of an indoorsy companion but does enjoy light strolls, and she’s making great progress on her leash manners and confidence with new sounds and sights. Clementine has also proven she can be trusted alone at home—she’ll nap or patiently wait until you’re back. She sleeps soundly in her crate at night, appears to be potty trained, and is eager to learn new things—especially if there’s cheese as a reward. At the shelter, Clementine got along well with her kennel mate and wagged her tail when meeting a few friendly dogs, so a calm canine companion could be a fit with the right introduction. She would also thrive as the center of attention in a quieter home, ideally with a patient adopter who will continue to encourage her confidence. She may have had a rough start, but Clementine’s heart is as open as they come, and she’s ready to share it with someone who will cherish her. If you’re looking for a loving, loyal, curious, and delightfully quirky best friend, Clementine just might be your perfect match. If you are interested in adopting, please visit the I.C.A.R.E.
