CLEMENTINE - CAIRN TERRIER / CHIHUAHUA / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Cairn Terrier / Chihuahua / Mixed (medium coat). Adoption Fee: 400. PWRESCUE.ORG *PHOENIX METRO AREA ONLY* Clementine “Clemmie” is a 15-pound, 1½-year-old terrier mix with a big personality packed into a petite frame! She came to rescue when her owner could no longer care for her — and shortly after arriving, she surprised everyone by giving birth to four adorable puppies. Now that her mama duties are complete, it’s finally her turn to be someone’s baby. Clemmie is a very sweet, high-energy girl who loves everyone she meets. She can be a little shy and skittish with new people, unfamiliar environments, and loud noises at first, but with patience and reassurance she relaxes and blossoms beautifully. Having a confident canine companion in the home is a must — she looks to other dogs for guidance, enjoys playing tug, and benefits greatly from a buddy who can help show her the ropes. This girl LOVES toys, especially the squeaky ones... loves chew toys, tug ropes, balls — if it can be tossed for fetch, she’s all in. A secure, fenced yard is required so she can run her zoomies and play fetch to her heart’s content. She’s athletic, has some supercharged jumps, and is impressively talented at standing on her back legs! During downtime, Clemmie is happy to curl up next to her person on the couch. Her foster mom is working on basic commands like “come” and “sit,” and we’d love for her adopters to continue her training. Ongoing positive reinforcement will not only sharpen her skills but also help build her confidence. Due to her shyness, any children in the home should be at least 12 years old, gentle and respectful. We do not know her history with cats, but most likely the terrier part of her would terrorize a cat. She does like to use her “voice” when the doorbell rings or when she hears neighbor dogs outside, but she responds well when told to settle. Clemmie is ready for a loving, patient home with a playful, confident dog companion and a secure yard where she can thrive. In return, she’ll bring joy, energy, and lots of snuggles to her forever family. Clemmie is up to date on vaccinations, spayed and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $400.
