This wonderful girl's journey began when she was found running near SR 395 and 10th Avenue in Kennewick. A Good Samaritan rescued her and brought her to the animal shelter, where she’s been waiting ever since for a family to share her boundless love and enthusiasm with.

Here is some information about Clarice's breed. Belgian Malinois are known for being incredibly intelligent, loyal, and high-energy. They’re often used in working roles like police and military work because of their trainability and focus. Clarice embodies these traits perfectly – she’s quick to learn, eager to please, and loves to stay active. She thrives on mental and physical stimulation, and she’s always up for an adventure, especially if it involves toys, food, car rides, or long walks along the river.

Clarice is a dog that requires someone who can meet her needs and provide her with structure and routine. She would do best as the only pet in a household because she’s reactive toward other dogs and has a strong prey drive. She has every ability to be a loyal and loving companion who will thrive in an active home. Whether it’s a farm, a home with plenty of outdoor space to run, or someone who loves to travel and is looking for a furry adventure buddy, Clarice will fit in perfectly.
