From the Foster: Claire is a sweet little lady that can be a little shy in new environments. When she first arrived to us, she was very scared and unsure of the new surroundings, but she has really come out of her shell with us over the past month. She loves to be close to you and will definitely invade your “personal space” bubble. She gets along well with our adult male and female in the house. Although, due to her heart worm treatment, she needs to remain calm so time together is monitored to make sure there isn’t much play time. Claire handles the exercise restriction pretty well, although you can tell she definitely wants to play sometimes. Overall, she loves to be close and cuddle and/or chew on a bone next to you. She has some basic manners to solidify and some confidence building to do, but hopefully that will come much easier once she is fully healthy again! Claire won’t be at any adoption events until she is done with treatment but would be open to individual meetings one-on-one if a potential adopter wants to wait to adopt or is interested in a foster-to-adopt arrangement until her heart worm treatment is complete.
