Clara - Shepherd and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Phoenix, Arizona

Hi, I'm Clara - your new social director!

I'm 4 months old, part of the fabulous Lab/Hound mix litter, and let's just say... I don't know a stranger.

People? LOVE 'em. Dogs? Bring 'em on. Kids? My favorite! I'm the first one to run up and say hi-tail wagging, smile on, ready to party.

I'm basically the golden retriever of the group... just in a hound-ish body. I'm also a car ride champ-windows down, good vibes only.

Clara's Credentials:
Most outgoing pup of the crew
Dog AND kid approved
Car ride co-pilot extraordinaire
First to greet new friends-human or furry
Spay scheduled next week-almost adoption ready!

If you're looking for a confident, social, happy-go-lucky pup who's always down to meet new friends and spread joy, I'm your girl.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

The shepherd dog breed encompasses a versatile group known for their intelligence, loyalty, and strong work ethic. With a heritage deeply rooted in herding and protecting livestock, shepherds excel at various tasks ranging from obedience and agility competitions to search and rescue missions. Their protective nature makes them excellent family pets, offering unwavering devotion and a natural instinct to watch over and care for their loved ones. In addition to their remarkable abilities, shepherds are often characterized by their distinctive appearance, including a sturdy build, alert expression, and a signature double coat that provides insulation and protection in various climates.
