CLARISSA
You are officially invited . . . to rub my tummy all day long! Meet CLARISSA, a darling Wheaten Terrier girl who arrived at WFTRM Chicago. She is 4 years old, weighs about 37 pounds and is the sweetest girl who on a dime will roll on her back begging for a belly rub. Clarissa was released from an Amish Breeder in Pennsylvania, not the best place to be crated in a barn only used as a commodity to produce puppies. She is lucky to be released and not looking back but to a future with a family who wants to love her, be patient while she settles into life as a pet and have all kinds of Wheaten Greetins. She loves people, being with you and hanging out and giving you her complete I adore you face with her big brown eyes. Max and I took Clarissa over to Pet Supplies Plus to use the self-bathing room. What surprised me is she loved going in the car, leaned forward and gave some kisses and enjoyed the ride. She was okay for the bath but the dryers scared her. So good for a walk around the store to get some things and then head home. Clarissa, or you can call her Cissy, will wag her tail and body so fast when you talk to her. She loves being in a house, eating well and very well behaved. We are taking the outside in baby steps, she gets to the bridge and then runs back to the house. We walked on the leash and she is a leg hugger, curious of all the sights and smells but stays close. Every day a braver girl comes out of her comfort zone. Clarissa had a spa day at the salon and did well but again was terrified of the dryers. When I picked her up she was happy to see me, ran up and licked my hands. She was so cute and had these adorable rainbow bows in her hair. She settled in her comfy seat in the back of the car and truly a good travel companion. She seems fine out and about with some dogs but gave growls and lip curls at the gate with some of the rescue residents. Clarissa will blossom in a home where someone was not gone all day, being part of your activities and world, getting lots of praise, hugs and belly rubs and work with her on her insecurities and training. She could not get any sweeter and just a lover. She is Spayed, Rabies, Distemper & Bordatella Vaccinations, Full Blood Panel, Heartworm Tested Negative, Positive for Lyme exposure so she is on a course of Doxycycline, Ears Deep Cleaned & Otopak Med put in, Micro Chipped, Groomed, Fecal Checked and Positive for Tapeworms which she has received Drontal Plus. Clarissa is waiting for her wonderful new life with her Forever Home.
