Clarissa

Clarissa is a 1 year and 8 month old border collie mix with a beautiful white coat sprinkled with black spots—and a heart that is bursting with love and energy. But behind her bright eyes is a story that will tug at your heart.<br/><br/>Clarissa was surrendered because she “kept getting out of the backyard.” But Clarissa had a story of her own. For months, this sweet girl spent her days alone outside, surrounded by unfamiliar noises, no enrichment, no adventure, and no one to share life with. Anyone would want to escape that. Dogs aren’t meant to live life watching the world go by from behind a fence.<br/><br/>Despite all of that, Clarissa is still full of joy. She wants to play. She loves to walk. She thrives on movement, companionship, and being part of the action. She isn’t meant to be alone—she’s meant to be someone’s best friend, adventure buddy, and happy little shadow.<br/><br/>Clarissa is searching for more than just a home. She’s searching for a family, a place where she can finally live life to the fullest, bring laughter into the home, and be loved the way she’s always deserved.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a dog who will fill your days with fun, affection, and unconditional love, Clarissa is waiting—hoping her forever family finds her soon. <br/><br/>We are a shelter located in Gainesville, TX, but we offer transportation services all over the U.S. If you’d like to learn more about Clarissa call us anytime at 940-665-9800. We are open 11 AM–5 PM (closed Thursday and Friday). You can also submit an adoption application here:<br/>https://noahsarktx.com/adopt/
