Adopt Clarita: A Shy Dachshund Mix Seeking a Forever Home

Meet Clarita: A Shy Dog in Need

• 🐾 Clarita is a 2-year-old, 29-pound dog who recently arrived at the Humane Society of Broward County.
• 🥺 She is described as very sweet but incredibly shy and needs a quieter home to adjust.
• 🐶 Her breed is estimated to be a dachshund mix, possibly with beagle, due to her short legs and round body.
• 😥 She is currently shedding a lot, which is attributed to nerves, and her coat is a bit dry, suggesting she needs some conditioning and TLC.

Shelter Life and Adjustment Period

• ⏱️ Clarita has only been at the shelter for about 48 hours and has been kept in a quieter kennel.
• 💡 It's highlighted that many dogs at the shelter may appear shy or overly energetic in their kennels, but their true personalities emerge when they meet people.
• 🏡 Adopting a pet involves an adjustment period, as animals need time to decompress in a new environment after leaving familiar surroundings.

Upcoming Shelter Event: Plant Sale

• 🪴 The Humane Society of Broward County is hosting a plant sale on Saturday, the 10th, from 10:30 AM to 2 PM on the second floor.
• 💰 All proceeds from the plant sale will benefit the shelter's programs and services.
• 🌱 The plants are grown by participants in the shelter's teen and senior clubs, offering beautiful plants at good prices.

Other Adoptable Animals and Resources

• 🐶 Recent adoptions include two Chihuahuas and a dog named Gaia, who is active and enjoys swimming.
