Clarissa is an active and outgoing girl. She was picked up as a stray and has since proven herself to be everyone's best friend. When we met her she was teaching her rather chubby Bassett kennel mate how to play and chase. What a doll! Clarissa is around 4 years old and she loves to run. She'll start at one end of the yard and run full speed at you. Just when you think she's going to run right into you, she effortlessly slides gently up against your legs for a hug. She has one of the friendliest smiles around!
