Story
Clover is very sweet, she is almost 2 years old and about 30lbs. She lived in Texas for her first 1.5 years and then hitched a ride with 30 other pups to Illinois to find a furever home.
Clover is quiet, has only barked a few times but she was mostly following along with her loud foster brother. Clover likes to get belly scratches and she will show you how much she loves you by licking you. Clover is very smart and got the hang of the potty schedule in a few days. She occasionally has let herself out too by opening the screen door of the sliding glass window. She has run out to an unfenced grassy area but never goes very far.
She doesn't like loud noises it scares her, but she has definitely gained a lot of confidence in the first couple weeks she was in her foster home. She gets really energetic when she goes outside and jumps around.
Clover does well in a crate and also likes to take naps on the couch. Clover was not very comfortable with taking a bath using the shower head but if you use a cup and pour water on her she felt better and didn't try jumping out of the bathtub anymore. She also got very nervous when foster mom turned on the hose to water the plants.
She loves going outside and tries to jump right out as soon as the door opens, she is learning to wait for the door to open and not try to bust through. She has visited the dog park and was very playful and made new friends quickly. Clover is very fast and slides around like a baseball player sliding into home plate, she also rolls around very quickly to fake out her friends that are chasing her. She also does a cute army type crawl.
When Clover learned where foster mom was hiding the treats, she opened up the door and took the bag out, did I mention how smart she is. When she was told not to sneak out treats, she hasn't done it again. Clover lives with 2 kids ages 11 and 13 and 70 lb foster brother. She likes to jump on foster brother and get him to play. She has slowly learned how to play tug-o-war with foster brother, but mostly likes to run around and wear foster brother out.
