My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Clyde is a 1 year old, 47 lb mixed breed pup. He sat at animal control for 8 months before he became urgent and on their euthanasia list due to space. Thankfully, one of our fosters was able to step up and take him.

Clyde’s foster mom says the following about him:
Clyde is a very playful and loving pup who approaches the world with a renewed and excited curiosity. He loves playing with soft squeaky toys, benebones, bully sticks, bento balls, kongs, and rubber trunks with food openings.

This sweet little guy is very motivated by treats and praise. Through positive reinforcement training, he's mastered potty training (including on the leash) and jumping in the car. He can sleep through the night for 8.5-9 hours without having to use the restroom. While away, he's done very well remaining gated to half of his space with another dog without barking, destruction, or accidents. He also is very relaxed while his foster parent works from home—mostly napping or chewing on his bully stick until it's time for another walk.

Overall, he walks great on a leash—but he sometimes stops to sniff or watch a passing car. This is understandable since he has spent most of his life in a shelter. With time, this behavior should decrease. He has also discovered his voice and can bark when he gets excited, but with continued reinforcement, he can learn to control it.

His personality comes out more day by day and he's really embracing his puppyhood. He greatly enjoys his AM and PM "zoomie power hours" after he has his food and enjoys multiple walks per day. He has a lot of energy—so he needs owners who are willing to take him for walks and provide him with proper mental stimulation. We highly recommend that he lives with another dog who can show him the ropes. If he is the only dog in the household, there needs to be a stay-at-home spouse or individual who works from home.

He is also cat friendly.

His adoption fee is $250, which includes his shots up-to-date, microchipping, neuter, heartworm testing, and he had a dental cleaning (his teeth had tarter due to the food at the shelter).
