To apply to adopt this dog now, complete our adoption application HERE To see our upcoming events where you can meet some of our dogs, please see HERE Age: 2 Years 2 Months (as of 3/20/26) Weight: 68 lbs. (as of 2/20/26) Location: RI This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. This BEAUTIFUL black lab mix is Clementine. She is said to be gentle, smart, well-behaved & ready for her furever family. Clementine has gotten along with the human and the small dogs she's been staying with during her short time in her foster home and has settled right in. She has been a bit more nervous with larger dog in the home and would benefit from slow introductions. She is crate trained and will keep her crate clean. Clementine rides well in a car and enjoys meeting new people. She is described as interested and calm in new places. Clementine does get excited when she meets children. Since she is on the larger side she may do better in a home with older kids. We don't know a ton about Clementine's back story but unfortunately, Clementine was attacked by 2 dogs & is healing from stitches in her leg. She also had a bite on her shoulder which did not require stitches. Despite that, she still enjoys the company of other dogs. Beautiful Clementine is not expected to have any lasting medical concerns, though there may be some small scars from her wounds. This sweet girl will be a great companion for her lucky new family.
