🐾 Meet Clara – A Gentle Soul Looking for Her Second Chance 🐾
Clara was adopted from us as a sweet young pup two and a half years ago. Since then, she’s grown into a beautiful, affectionate girl who has only ever wanted to love and be loved in return.
But now, through no fault of her own, Clara needs a new home. Her current owners are divorcing, and sadly, her mum can no longer care for both dogs alone. With a heavy heart, she's asked us to help find Clara the loving home she truly deserves.
Clara has already overcome more than her fair share of hardship. As a puppy, she developed an eye infection which turned into an ulcer. The vet in Portugal treated the infection and closed the eye lid by stitching the eye closed. Unfortunately, a year later the eye became infected again, and we made the decision to have the eye removed entirely. She’s now completely blind in that eye, but you’d never know it. Clara runs, plays, and lives her life with the same joyful spirit as any other dog.
She’s house-trained, loves the car, and knows basic commands like sit, paw, and wait. Clara walks beautifully off-lead, although she’s recently become nervous when large vehicles approach from behind. In quieter parks and green spaces, she’s in her element. She has never been destructive in the house (though she does enjoy digging in the garden!) and isn’t an escape artist – she respects boundaries.
Clara adores other dogs and has lived happily alongside another rescue, Milli. She's gentle, submissive, and always excited to say hello on walks. She’s brilliant with children, strangers, and the vet (even if she’s a little unsure sometimes). Clara is a Lab at heart – food-motivated, friendly, and full of love.
She’s looking for a home where someone is around for most of the day, as she’s used to companionship – whether human or canine. Clara wouldn’t suit a home with cats, as she has a strong chase instinct, but with the right people, she will be the most loyal and loving friend you could ask for.
