I’m a silly, affectionate, curious, playful pup who just wants to be by your side. I’ll be your eager exercise partner, I’ll curl right up next to you on the couch, preferably under a soft blanket, for cuddles and chill time, I’ll follow along, helping you out with household chores, I’ll happily listen to you tell me all about your day. Whatever you want from a constant companion, I’m your guy! I find comfort and contentment from connecting with people, and I would love to share my zest for life with you. <br/><br/>I’m a darling, 6-month-old, 30-pound (and still growing!) Pointer mix, with soft puppy fur, the cutest, expressive face and ears, and a happy, spunky, delightful personality. I’m already crate trained and mostly housebroken too. I might have a few accidents as I get settled in, which is perfectly normal, but if you keep me on a schedule, it will help to set me up for success. I’ve recently learned to sit by the door when I need to go outside. I came to Wayside as a wee pup, all the way from a shelter in Hawaii that didn’t have space for me. I was adopted, but things didn’t end up working out for me there when I chased and cornered the resident cats. Oops! I wanted to play, but I guess they weren’t interested. Being in a shelter is stressful for an energetic young pup like me, so I spent my time jumping and carrying on in my kennel, just trying to get anyone’s attention. I guess it worked, because Foster Mom noticed me and realized that what I needed was time in a real home. Ah, I will never, ever take the comfort and luxury of a home and family for granted. <br/><br/>I quickly and happily settled into my new routine as a family dog, although I’m still learning every day too. I’m the perfect combination of active yet able to chill. I quietly stay in my crate at night and a couple hours throughout the day when no one is around to supervise me or when I need a break. I’m a typical pup who is curious and interested in everything, so Foster Mom keeps an eye on me. It’s easy to do, because I follow her around the house like a little shadow. Wherever she is, I’m right by her side. She’s my favorite, although I love the rest of the family too, including Foster Dad and the kids, ages 11-19. I get so excited to welcome them when they get home from work or school! I enjoy having visitors stop by too. I’m friendly with everyone, and I’m learning to stay calm instead of jumpy. Making good choices is part of my training. I’m smart, eager to please, and I thrive with positive reinforcement and praise. I want to do the right thing. I want to make you proud.<br/><br/>I like playing with my toys, especially balls or durable chew toys. They make me happy. And I love to lounge outside listening to all the new sounds and exploring the scents around me. Peacefully napping on the couch next to Foster Mom is one of my favorite things. I’m mostly quiet unless I get startled or I hear the other dog bark. I need a safe and quiet spot to eat my meals, where I know no one will bother me. Mealtime is important to me, so please let me enjoy it in peace. <br/><br/>I’d love to have a fenced yard in my new home, where I can run and play and explore. I enjoy going for walks in the neighborhood or on the local trails, too. I’m working on my leash skills and learning not to pull. I excitedly greet new people I meet along the way, but I’m not reactive when I see other dogs. I do love to play and just hang out with other dogs, though! I live with a dog in my foster home, and I spend my days trying to get him to play with me. He’s not interested, so I try to stay patient and listen to his corrections. Still, I’d love to have another playful dog around to help me expend some energy and to teach me the ropes in my new home. I need a home without cats, please, and with children over the age of at least 6, as my play can sometimes get rowdy when I’m excited. Mostly, I hope to find kind people who love to spend time with me as I learn all about life as a family dog. <br/><br/>I’ve been through more change and instability in my life than most dogs will face in a lifetime. But I never let my circumstances get me down. I never have a bad day. My sweet, happy, goofy spirit comes shining through in everything I do. I’ll keep you laughing every day with my silly antics. And I will be so grateful when I finally land in my forever home. I will spend my life showing you how it feels to be loved unconditionally. That’s my specialty. <br/><br/>Love, Clef
