Rover Rescue Dog of the Week

Want to go exploring?  I need a partner!  My name is Clark, but not to be confused with the famous William Clark of the 1800’s Louis and Clark Expedition.   But my short life has seen some adventure! I am a two year old beagle that was found peeking in the windows of an elementary school in Southern Indiana.  Hey, you cannot fault a boy for trying to break in and learn.  I have been told that knowledge is power and history is my favorite subject.  (By the way, I heard that William Clark did not have a formal education either!)  The school only allowed two legged students so I got sent to a high kill shelter instead.  Luckily, the shelter workers thought I was as cute as I was diligent.  So I found myself on a perilous journey to Illinois with the Rover Rescue crew.  But let me tell you about my good looks!  I weigh a healthy 28 pounds and I have the softest, largest velvety ears.  And I have been told that I have quite soulful eyes.  There should be a caution warning saying that if you look into them you will indeed be hypnotized and will want to adopt me!  And why wouldn’t you??  I would make a great family dog.   I get along with people of all ages.  Being a good house dog is a newly acquired plan for me.  I need a patient family to work on some of my manners and explain what is expected of me!   I am a very good pupil and I am more than eager to please.  While at my new foster home, I have made a great discovery: kitchen counters.   It’s a good thing that I am not tall enough to reach, but I am sure interested in that uncharted territory.  I love taking hikes over vast areas of land, but will you help me master my leash skills?  I have been known to chew on the lead when I have had enough.  My foster mom thinks I am a really good guy!  I am crate-trained and housebroken.  I am up to date on shots and neutered.  I get along with other dogs.  I actually take the submissive role as I would rather be an Indian than a chief!  I love to play with toys and bones.   I may not be able to find the waterways to the Pacific, but I know that I can discover the route to your heart!  If you would like to explore the options of adopting me, Clark, please call Teri at 630-897-7454.  Clark’s video link:  http://youtu.be/GtTwJvssFLI
