*Clover Green

PLEASE DON'T SCROLL PAST CLOVER.

Some dogs demand your attention the second you see themClover is the kind who quietly steals your heart once you know her. She is approximately 10 years old, 9 pounds, and a Chihuahua mix with enormous ears, delicate little features, and the sweetest face that makes her look remarkably like a tiny deer.

And somehow, her personality is even sweeter. Clover is gentle. Kind. Affectionate. Funny. Undemanding. She is the kind of dog who simply wants to be included in your life.

Cooking dinner? Clover will supervise.
Watching television? She'll curl up beside you. Walking through the house? She'll happily follow along, just in case you need companionship-or happen to drop a snack. Because if Clover has one great passion besides her people, it is food.

We suspect she doesn't hear particularly well, yet somehow the opening of a refrigerator and the crinkle of a treat bag penetrate whatever mysterious frequency barrier exists between Clover and the rest of the world.

She also LOVES balls.

There is something ridiculously endearing about watching this tiny senior girl light up over a ball. She may be 10, but nobody remembered to tell Clover that senior dogs are supposed to stop having fun.

She enjoys other dogs and loves people. She might need about 30 seconds to decide whether a stranger is trustworthy, and then apparently the background check is complete and you are friends.

The resident cat makes her a little nervous. The cat considers this arrangement perfect.

Clover is happiest near her people, whether she is curled up on the couch, resting in a dog bed, following you around the house, or joining you for whatever adventure the day happens to contain. She doesn't need marathon hikes or constant entertainment. She just wants to belong.

She has wonderful potty habits, happily goes outside, and will also use a potty pad when necessary. She gets around well, manages stairs, and although she can occasionally be a little adorably clumsy, she is perfectly capable of navigating her world.

Clover is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and free of parasites.

There are younger dogs.

There are flashier dogs.

There will always be puppies who get dozens of applications simply because they are puppies.

But there is only one Clover.

And somewhere there is a person whose life would be immeasurably sweeter with this tiny deer-dog following them into the kitchen, stealing a spot beside them on the couch, chasing her favorite ball, and looking up at them as though being together is the best thing that happened all day.

She isn't asking for much.

A soft place to sleep.
A ball to chase.
A few snacks.
Someone to stay close to.

And, finally, a family who looks at a 10-year-old Chihuahua and doesn't see an "old dog."

They see their dog.

If that might be you, please email [email protected].

Clover has so much love left to give.

She just needs someone willing to choose her.

Umbrella of Hope is an all-volunteer, donation-run, non-profit animal rescue based out of Pittsburg, CA that rescues animals from local shelters, places them in private foster homes, provides them with needed medical care and then finds them new homes.
Also, ask us about our seniors for seniors program, where we adopt animals 5 years or older to qualified homes with a $5 donation as an adoption fee. All animals are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, treated for parasites and given any additional treatments (dental work, bloodwork etc) as recommended by our vet.
Adoptions to veterans of the US Armed Services are ALWAYS free to thank you for your service.
