Adoption Profile: Meet Clark, Your Lovable Lap Dog!

Hello there! My name is Clark, and I'm an adorable blue (grey) American Staffie eagerly looking for my forever home. I'm approximately 1.5 years old, weigh a sturdy 64 lbs, and have a heart as big as my love for cuddling. If you're searching for a loyal and affectionate companion, I might just be your perfect match! I'm one of those big, goofy, clumsy, love bugs. Despite my size, I firmly believe I'm a lap dog. There's nothing I love more than snuggling up with my humans and showering them with kisses. If you're in need of a warm and fuzzy buddy, I'm your guy!

I must admit, I have a bit of a prey drive, so I wouldn't be suitable for a home with cats or small animals. However, I've done well meeting other dogs while on leash during our neighborhood walks. Although I can be a bit overwhelming for some dogs, I'm learning to improve my social skills with proper guidance and training. That said, I would thrive as the only dog in the household, allowing me to soak up all the attention and love you have to offer.

One of my favorite activities is going on walks in the neighborhood. I'm an excellent walking partner and always enjoy exploring my surroundings. Whether we're strolling through the park or venturing through the streets, I'm sure to make every walk an adventure. Currently, I'm living in a foster home with someone who's around the majority of the time. I absolutely adore having people around, and I'm always thrilled to have company. If you work from home or have a flexible schedule, I would be overjoyed to keep you company throughout the day. Rest assured, I'm both house trained and crate trained. I understand the rules and will do my best to be a well-behaved member of the family. Playing and chewing on toys are some of my favorite pastimes, so having a good selection of toys available is a must in our home.

If you're looking for a loving and loyal companion who will fill your days with endless snuggles and companionship, I'm ready to be your new best friend. I can't wait to find my forever home and share my unconditional love with you. So, what do you say? Are you ready to embark on this incredible journey together?

Complete the DOG ADOPTION INTEREST FORM (located on our website RARErescue.org)

We understand that it is important to you to find the right fit for your family. We feel the same way! The DOG ADOPTION INTEREST FORM is important and REQUIRED for this reason.

All of our Adoptables are:

Spayed/neutered; Up to date on vaccines; Heartworm tested if six months or older (& kept on heartworm preventative and treated for heartworms if positive when entering our program): Microchipped prior to adoption

BREEDS: We are not breed experts. The breed(s) listed for each adoptable are best guesses or suggestions.

PLEASE NOTE: We are a non-profit organization without municipal or government funding. Veterinary/Medical expenses are constant for an animal rescue. Our adoption fees not only help to provide vetting and care for the animal being adopted, but they also help to cover heartworm treatments and other treatable ailments that many animals, that would otherwise be euthanized, need in order to be made available for adoption.

Please understand that adopting an animal is a LIFETIME COMMITMENT to that animal and there will be veterinary expenses throughout their life that can often cost several hundreds, if not thousands of dollars (without pet insurance), especially without annual checkups and preventative care. As a potential family for this pet you are responsible for their safety and that includes keeping them on your property.

***If you are not in the middle Tennessee area, transport can potentially be arranged to approved homes, depending on distance and local adaptability. We normally do not allow adoptions outside of 1.5 hours driving distance.
