In the shelter’s words

<3 A Special Note About Me I'm part of Pawfect Match's Special Care & Rehabilitation Program. My journey is a little different than most.Some of us are healing from medical conditions. Some of us are learning to trust. Some of us have special needs or require a very specific home to thrive. While we're always open to meeting the right family, our priority is making sure we're happy, healthy, and loved every step of the way. For me, that means it would take a truly special home—someone who understands my unique needs and is committed to giving me the life I deserve. If that person comes along, we'd love to hear from them! Until then, Pawfect Match is proud to be my safety net and my family. My care doesn't stop after my rescue. Food, medications, routine veterinary care, enrichment, and lots of love are all part of my everyday life. If you'd like to be part of my journey, please consider making a donation toward my daily care. Every gift, no matter the size, helps dogs like me continue to receive the second chances we deserve. ___________________ Update: We have DNA test results back on Cliff- he is a Great Pyr / Alaskan Malamute mix! Meet Cliff the big white and tan dog, not to be confused with Clifford the big red dog but honestly they have so many similarities. First of all Cliff is a big boy. He is often not aware he is so big. He is however a sweet, lovable and goofy boy that is very loyal. Cliff wants to be where his people are. He has not met a person he doesn't like and because he is so big and handsome he stands out and the feelings are always mutual from ever person who has met him. Cliff has done wonderful meeting new dogs with the proper introductions. He does need work on his leash manners. It is quite possible he has never been on a walk with a leash or harness prior to coming to our rescue. On a walk Cliff is curious and wants to explore but needs to learn his human is in control when out on a walk. Cliff would love a nice fenced in back yard to romp around, patrol the perimeter, sniff the fresh air and soak up some sun in. Cliff will not turn down a treat which is good as it can assist with his further training because he loves praise and rewards. In his current foster home he is crate trained and has not had any accident in the house. Cliff deserves a home and furever family of his own maybe a fur sibling or a human kid even. As we learn more about Cliff we will update his profile. If you'd like to meet him in person he will be at some of our upcoming events. You can also fill out an application and schedule a meet-n-greet. The adoption fee is $400, which covers food, vetting, microchip and the future spay/neuter surgery performed by a rescue-affiliated vet. All puppies have had a wellness visit and are up to date on shots appropriate for age. Breed and size is Pawfect Match Rescue's best guess and not guaranteed.
