**Meet Mr. Belvedere — A Gentle Soul with a Big Heart**
Once a walking skeleton, **Mr. Belvedere (aka Mr. B)** arrived at Clifford’s Army Rescue in **July 2022**, barely clinging to life. Starved and forgotten, he’s now a **healthy, affectionate six-year-old Australian Shepherd mix** (with a mystery blend of charm) who’s ready to love his humans unconditionally.
Mr. B is a nature lover — he enjoys hikes, leisurely walks, and the company of other dogs. His sweet disposition and soulful eyes make him a favorite among volunteers. He’s not just looking for a home — he’s looking for a heart to call his own.
