About Claire Bear (Labrador retriever) in Statesville

Claire Bear is waiting for you at Iredell County Animal Services and Control Department in Statesville, NC 28677. Meet Claire Bear — Ready for Her First Real Home! Sweet Claire Bear has spent her entire life outdoors with several other dogs, but she’s dreaming of something brand new… a cozy home, her very own family, and all the love she’s been missing. Her perfect evening? Snuggling up with her humans, soaking in endless belly rubs and reassurance, then enjoying a peaceful bowl of food all to herself — no sharing required! This 1-year-old, 26.80-lb lab mix recently met another similar-sized female here at the shelter. She started off playful and bouncy, even going nose-to-nose for some sweet sniffs. But when she felt a bit overwhelmed, she looked to her human handler for comfort — reserved, never aggressive. Claire Bear clearly cherishes human companionship above all and may do best with calm dog friends in her future home.
