This handsome guy has a special rescue story. An amazing human named Christine saw his picture up for adoption at the Downey Animal Care Center and was immediately on her way to save the day. You might recognize her as @chilberg on Instagram, mom to an awesome rescue pup named Puka. What you might also notice is that Puka and their new foster, Sir Clefton both have the cutest cleft lip and if you didn't know their story, you might think they were brother and sister. 

So after fostering him for several weeks, it's time to find him a forever home of his own. Here's what his foster mom has to say about him:

Have you met Sir Clefton? He is currently available for adoption in Los Angeles! Clefton is a great dog in search of his forever family. He is very well-mannered, easy going, and super friendly. If you would like more information about Clefton, please contact his foster mom, Christine: PukaIsMyHomie@gmail.com.
