Claire's Story

Claire is a lovely little bi black girl. She weighs about 22 lbs. The vet put her at about 8 1/2 years old. Claire is housetrained and crates well. She also travels well and potties on leash. We do think she would be fine as an only dog as she really has no interest in playing with any of my girls. She wants to be where you are, but isn’t clingy about it. If you leave the room she’s behind you, but she doesn’t have to be touching you all the time. She loves a big comfy bed and loves her food! If you leave food things down low, she will help herself! Claire has crystals in her urine and will require a special food to keep them from clumping up and turning into stones. She likes it and eats it well. She’s easy to groom and doesn’t mind the blow dryer.
