After spending her years as a breeding dog, she was surrendered when she was considered "too old" for the job. Thankfully, her story is only just beginning. Claudette is a sweet, gentle girl who is learning that people can be kind and that love comes without expectations. She is still figuring out this big new world, but she takes comfort in gentle encouragement and patient companionship. Despite her past, she is wonderful with handling and has been cooperative and easy to care for. What Claudette needs most is a family willing to help her continue building confidence and discovering all the joys she's missed out on - soft beds, leisurely walks, tasty treats, and the comfort of belonging. Every day, she grows a little braver and a little more trusting. If you're looking for a quiet, loving companion and have room in your heart for a dog who deserves a second chance, Claudette is ready to show you just how special she is. Her puppy mill days are behind her, and her happily-ever-after is waiting She will come spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and 4dx tested.
