Description:
Note From Clarice's rescuer: "This is Clarice and she was saved from the gas chamber in December. When she first arrived she was drug into the shelter garage down the long hallway and shoved into a kennel. She was so scared she never once tried to get up and walk her journey to her new home. Which is just a cell with three walls and a door. She just laid down on the cold possibly wet floor and Shook. I tried to get her to come to me but she just backed up to the back of the kennel and shook. I didn't want to make her worse so I left her alone. The kennel keeper told me the next day she was better, but still crawling. I watched them drag her down the hallway to get weighed and her picture taken and shots. With fear in her eyes it made me cry. While she was out I gave her kisses and hugs and told her I would get her out. The boarding lady said she is a good girl and very loveable and good with the other dogs."

MARS heard this poor girl's story and had to step in to help. She will be arriving in rescue this weekend, and will need a foster home when she arrives. Clarice can be a bit shy at first, but once she gets to know you, she is very friendly.

Clarice has settled in nicely at her foster home, so now she can begin her search for her forever home.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
