• “Hi, I'm Claire! I like things on my terms. I'm a bit of a diva who enjoys lounging, exploring the yard, and soaking up attention. I don't always play with toys, but when I do, it's because I decided it was time. If you hear me talking or singing, don't worry—I'm just reminding everyone that I deserve a little extra attention!“

  — Patricia C.

• “I'm a terrier mix from Central Valley. I am very sweet but afraid of strangers!“

  — Grace J.

• “Claire is a 2 year old Leonberger who loves to play and is still puppy like. She is a bit reactive on leash but is super friendly and mostly pulls because she just wants to play. Is super social and friendly with dogs.“

  — Alyssa B.

• “I’m Claire! I’m a 3 year old golden retriever mix. I play well with other dogs, but prefer dogs with a submissive play style just like mine. My mom has done plenty of training with me, and I’m actively still in training classes, but I’m also very stubborn and may not listen sometimes. I’m fat, but I’m on a diet and trying to lose weight. I love running! I like to play with water splashes but don’t like to swim. I usually go to sniff spots with my housemate Misty, but can also go by myself! 🐾“

  — Katelyn L.

• “Claire is a German shepherd lab mix adopted from Furry Friends network. She loves chasing squirrels, peanut butter and bossing her little sister around.“

  — Lori A.

• “I am a young Great Pyrenees/retriever mix. I LOVE people and want to just crawl under their skin to be a part of them… but when it comes to other animals my mom gets very anxious about what my reaction might be. I’ve had some good reactions and some bad ones when it comes to other dogs.“

  — Heather P.

• “Claire is a sassy six-year-old who often comes off very cat like. She is mama‘s baby girl and rarely leaves her side. She is chunky as a result of her obsession with human treats. She loves a good butt scratch and chasing lizards. She is a rescue and was exposed to situations that required her to fight other dogs for food. We’ve worked a lot on leash training, and she’s slowing getting use to allowing other dogs to exist.“

  — Abby L.

• “Claire is a sweet, joyful and athletic Australian Shepherd. She is a rescue and afraid of new people and new dogs.“

  — Theresa K.

• “Hi guys. My name is Claire. My sister Lily calls me “Cwaire” because she is still a puppy and is working on her speech. My mom and dad call me Claire Bear because I’m so cute. At least that’s what they say. I like tummy scritches and pawing at my pawrents for more.“

  — Nick K.

• “My name is Claire. I used to go to dog parks with my mom and sister all the time. But over time other dogs would attack me so we stopped going. I love to run and explore.“
