From Lonely Life Outside to Love and Adventures with Family

Cliff (formerly Monkey) made his way to HHDR from Texas in the Fall of 2016 via our rescue partner Underdog Express. Before he was rescued, Cliff had a difficult life. He had lived outside for years, so he didn’t really know how to behave in a house. He was scared of the dark, storms, and cars, and he didn’t even know what to make of toys.

While staying with his foster family in Texas, he learned to do his business outside and quickly grew to love toys. At HHDR, he had a blast playing with all the other dogs. After a couple months at HHDR, Cliff wrote a letter to Santa expressing his dream of finding a forever home. Just a few weeks later in January 2017, Cliff was adopted by his forever family.

He was thrilled to join his new parents and dog brother Porter (another HHDR alum) for life on a farm! We are happy to share a pupdate about this handsome boy. His parents brag that he is extremely sweet and smart! Cliff and his brother are best buddies – they get into all sorts of adventure together, including hiking and walks in the snow. Cliff loves to explore the farm, go to the park, climb on things, and snuggle. He is enjoying a fun, active life with his family. Cliff has gone hiking in The Adirondacks and camping in Canada. His parents may also try him in agility lessons.

We appreciate your support in helping dogs like Cliff find a “new leash on life!”
