Clara Snugglebug the Calm Gentle Princess - Labrador Retriever and German Shepherd Dog Dog for Adoption in Friendswood, Texas

Who is this green eye cutie, you ask? Meet Clara! More than just a pretty girl -- she is incredibly smart and ready to learn!

At just 9 weeks old and 9 lbs, this beautiful tan lab retriever mix (with a possible hint of German Shepherd) is already stealing hearts with her stunning blue green eyes and expressive personality. Snuggles? Say less -- she's ready!

Clara isn't shy about sharing her opinions either. She's learned to communicate in the cutest way and will absolutely let you know how she feels about things she's not too sure about. Such a smart girl!

Underneath those inquisitive little woofs is the sweetest, most gentle love bug. You'll find Clara belly up and ready for rubs! She melts into scratches, and thrives on affection. She's curious, playful, and has a fun, slightly goofy personality that keeps everyone around her smiling.

She's already off to a great start with her routine. Clara is working on potty training -- she's so smart that at such a young age she's already going to the back door when she needs to go out.

She sleeps like a dream through the night, no crying or whining, and enjoys her three meals a day like a growing girl should.

Clara gets along wonderfully with other dogs and adults in the home, making her an easy addition to a loving environment.

Puppies are adorable little sponges, soaking up everything the world has to offer! While they're already off to a great start, they'll need continued structure, socialization, patience, and training to help them grow into confident, well mannered adult dogs. The time you invest now will pay off big late...and watching their personalities blossom along the way is one of the best parts of puppyhood!

If you're looking for a sweet, highly trainable companion with a whole lot of love to give, Clara is a pup you won't want to miss out on!
