2/28/08 - Clover has been adopted!! 2/23/08 -
The latest from Clover's foster
mom and dad:
"Clover is finally ready for
her forever home!
This little girl has won
the hearts of everyone she meets. She still needs to put on a few
more pounds, but we are diligently working on that! It must be all
the great exercise she is getting with her foster siblings.
Clover has settled into a
routine. She has been doing so well with her training and now does
great in her crate (as long as she gets her kong with peanut
butter! ) Clover still likes to bark when someone comes to the
door, but is always happy to see them when they come inside.
Her name says it all;
Clover's new family will be very lucky to have her."

Latest update on Clover from her
foster family:
"After a full week in her foster
home, Clover has made herself at home! She gets up right when the alarm
clock goes off and lets us know its time to get out of bed and let her
out! She loves eating her food with a little warm water in it and is
proving to have quite the appetite; which is a good thing because she
could use a few more pounds on her.
Clover loves to cuddle in bed
and then sleep on the doggy bed with Diesel at night. She has claimed
the love seat in the living room, but is always willing to share.
Clover has not displayed any aggression towards male strangers and
absolutely adores her foster daddy. Clover still doesn't like being in
the crate, but is doing much better in it. She can tolerate at least 3
hours without going outside, but definitely prefers to be with
people!
Clover now sits, lays down and
gives paw on command...she is such a smart girl! Clover's favorite
thing to do is run with Diesel outside and we have to bribe her with
cookies to come back inside!
I even think our cat likes her.
I caught her licking Clover's ears! "
We have moved Clover to a foster home. Here is their first report:
“Clover did great on the ride home. She definitely is used to car
rides. She has a happy temperament and is a bundle of energy! She
loves our 3 year old boxer Diesel and enjoys running around in the
backyard with him. Clover is also great with our 3lb chihuahua. She
knows the limit of what she can do with him and our cat. She has growled
at the cat a few times, but at this point, I think Clover is just very
curious.
Clover walks excellent on a leash and is very calm when she meets
another dog on a walk. She would benefit to have someone that has the
time, energy, and patience to work on some basic manners as she is very
much still a puppy. We have started clicker training and she is
responding fabulously!
She sleeps on her bed in our bedroom, and Diesel joined her - it is
really cute! She had two accidents her first night, but not a single
one since. Clover doesn't like to be left alone, but she is probably
just stressed from all the changes in her life.
When Ryan came home from work the first night, Clover started growling
and barking. Once Ryan got in the house she realized it was him and she
was fine. I've only heard her bark that one time, and once outside at
the dog that lives behind us (I think Diesel started that though!).
Clover will definitely need a house with a fenced yard, as she is full
of non-stop boxer energy. As far as her eating goes she is a neat
eater, but loves to slobber when she drinks.
Things are going great with Clover and she is adjusting very well. She
has a very happy temperament. Clover has yet to exhibit aggression
toward male strangers, but we will start introducing her to some more
new people in a few days. All in all, Clover seems to be a typical
boxer and will make a great addition to a boxer-loving home!”
