Meet Clifford: The Distinguished Gentleman with the Legendary Mohawk & a PhD in Napping
Clifford is the definition of an easygoing companion. He’s happiest riding shotgun, taking leisurely walks around the neighborhood, rolling in the grass because life is beautiful, or claiming the best corner of the couch (sorry… it’s his now because it’s perfect for resting his head).
Every morning, he wakes up sporting the most magnificent old-man bedhead & a tiny mohawk that’s become his signature look. It perfectly matches his personality: charming, goofy, and impossible not to love.
Blankets and pillows are serious business. Every night he carefully arranges his bed until it’s just right, & tucks himself in. He also comes with built-in commentary—grunts, sighs, and dramatic pouts, especially if you’ve had the audacity to stay up past his bedtime. Beauty sleep is non-negotiable.
To Clifford, everyone is a potential best friend. Kids, dogs, cats… if they exist, he’d love to be their buddy. He currently lives with cats and his foster sister, Paprika. She occasionally steals his treats, and Clifford handles it with the patience of a saint… although he has been known to quietly steal one back when the opportunity presents itself. Fair is fair.
Clifford is wonderfully gentle and easy to handle. He’ll politely offer a paw for attention, happily wear pajamas or booties, patiently waits while you put on his harness, and doesn’t mind baths. He’s crate trained, walks nicely on a leash (with a few excited zigzags for flair), and is almost fully potty trained—he knows outside is the place to go and is just polishing up how to let you know.
