Clove enjoys a little exercise followed by a long stretch on the couch. A girl with a sustainable fitness plan.
This Border Collie mix is 1 year and 9 months old, with a shiny black coat, white paws and a sweet disposition. She’s young enough to appreciate a good game of fetch, but she’s already discovered the considerable appeal of an afternoon nap. You can put down the tennis ball eventually.
Her manners are coming along nicely, too. Clove knows how to sit and lie down, giving her a head start on life with someone who appreciates a smart companion. She’s gentle and loves children. She’s also familiar with cats, a useful detail for anyone whose household already includes a feline supervisor.
Once playtime is over, Clove is happy to settle in for some snuggling. She has plenty of affection to offer someone who wants a dog involved in everyday life, whether that’s tossing a ball outside or making room beside them for a quiet evening.
For all those appealing qualities, she’s still waiting for her people. Clove has spent more than 60 days in the shelter, making her one of the SPCA of Texas’ Longtime Lovables. Her adoption fee is waived through the program.
If your idea of good company includes a playful girl who knows when it’s time to relax, she’s worth meeting. The couch can wait until you get home.
Clove is spayed, microchipped and up to date on her vaccines. Meet her at the SPCA of Texas Jan Rees-Jones Animal Care Center at 2400 Lone Star Drive in Dallas, open daily from noon to 6 p.m.
