😃🐶 Clarence steals the heart of everyone who meets him. He is a tender dear hearted boy with a huge heart waiting to share with his furever family.
Clarence would thrive in a quiet and calm household where he is giving the time and space to develop confidence and feel safe.
While in his foster families home, he has been exposed to many things for the first time. He is slowly learning how to feel safe - and he is a darling boy!
He will follow his people around the house and will come close enough to accept a treat. At this time in his life, he is extremely fearful of being touched or picked up. Over time he has started to let his foster mom pet him but only when he is in his crate (his safe space). In time, with patience, understanding and space, Clarence will understand he is safe and in trusting hands that will not hurt him.
He is not cat tested, however is accustomed to living with be other dogs. Calm, lower energy dogs or other small dogs would be a good fit. Clarence feels safest when he is in his crate and he sleeps there through the night.
Clarence had never been outside before coming into the care of Lost Boys Hope. He is extremely curious of all the new sights, sounds and smells. He asks to go out frequently. This has helped with house training which is coming along very well. He would enjoy a fenced backyard to allow him to explore the great outdoors.
Most of his head is bald with a cute crown of hair coming out the top. It is assumed he may have some chinese crested genes as he is lacking his long hair in many areas.
He was just recently vaccinated so has not been on leashed walks yet although we assume he will likely be very fearful to start.
Clarence is not quite ready to be a cuddly lap dog. He is looking for a family with patience and understanding that can help him adjust to his new world. He needs time to people are not scary and that he is safe even when he's not in his crate. This is going to take some time. Seeing him gain trust and confidence will be an incredible experience for his family to experience with him 🥰
