Dogs are fascinating creatures who have the ability to completely transform our lives with their many abilities and, above all, with their unconditional love. However, some animals are born with a physical disability or condition that makes them victims of discrimination and injustice by humans who fail to see how special they are.
Clefford’s family took the puppy to Angell Animal Medical Center in Boston, hoping he could find a loving new home. The dog was immediately put up for adoption through MSPCA-Angell , but no one was willing to take him .
Will Stoltenberg had been volunteering at the shelter for a long time, and when he met Clefford, he fell head over heels in love . He spent every day with the dog, and after a while, he realized he had to take him home.
So far, the little dog has undergone four surgeries that have radically reduced his cleft lip. Although he still looks different from most dogs, due to his crooked nose and his constantly showing teeth, none of this prevents him from enjoying the new, loving life he’s always deserved.
Sometimes people get nervous when they see Clefford’s appearance , but when they spend time with him they realize that he is the sweetest and friendliest dog ever.
