(10) Clarice: Clarice is a heeler mix who weighs around 30-35 lbs and is around 2 years old. She was taken through a humane case where 12 other dogs were taken from a home. She was kenneled with another dog and has only known the outside life. She was very happy to see a bed!

(11) Yeti: Yeti is a heeler/shepherd mix who weighs around 35-40 lbs. He is around 2 years old. He was kenneled with Clarice in a hoarding situation. These dogs were in very poor condition living outside in a kennel that couldn't be opened to give food or water. He is shy when meeting and will take a bit for him to come to you.
