CLIFF DESERVES HIS HAPPY ENDING

Meet Cliff, an adorable 5-month-old, 38 lb., neutered puppy with the cutest little low-rider legs. We believe he may be a Basset Hound/Golden Retriever mix — whatever he is, hes pretty darn adorable!

But Cliffs story has a heartbreaking beginning.

His owner was arrested after being caught on video carrying Cliff by his neck. The video is extremely disturbing, so we will NOT be sharing it — only a screenshot.

And yet, despite what this puppy has already experienced at only 5 months old, Cliff is AMAZING.

Hes sweet, happy, loving, and still trusts people. He even loves going camping! This goofy little low-rider is ready to leave his past behind and start the life he should have had all along.

The Basset Hound is a unique and recognizable breed known for its long body, droopy ears, and soulful eyes. Originating from France, they were originally bred for hunting small game like rabbits due to their keen sense of smell and sturdy build. Despite their laid back and affectionate nature, Basset Hounds are also persistent and independent thinkers, which can make training a bit challenging. With their low energy levels and love for lounging, they make wonderful companion dogs for families seeking a loyal and easygoing pet.

The Labrador Retriever is a popular and versatile dog breed known for its friendly demeanor and high intelligence. These dogs are often used as guide dogs for the visually impaired, search and rescue dogs, and excellent family pets. Labradors are known for their great sense of smell, strong build, and love of water, making them exceptional hunters and swimmers. With their loyal and loving nature, Labradors have rightfully earned their reputation as one of the most beloved dog breeds in the world.

Animal Rescue of New England saves animals from high-kill shelters or abandonment situations and places them in loving forever homes.
