About Clyde

They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now! Clyde is a lovable 9-year-old mixed-breed dog who joined the rescue with his companion Bonnie after the two were found adventuring together. Initially, they seemed inseparable, but after settling in, it became clear that Clyde and Bonnie would do well on their own and could thrive separately. Clyde has a wonderful temperament and is a joy to walk, and he delights in showing off his tricks—like shaking, giving paw, lying down, and rolling over—especially during a charming visit to a local nursing home where he stole the show. This sweet boy came to the rescue with a tumor between his neck and left shoulder, which has since been removed, and he has completed treatment for heartworm, too. Clyde is fully house trained, neutered, vaccinated, on preventive medication, and microchipped. If you are looking for a smart, seasoned companion who enjoys people and already knows lots of tricks, Clyde could be the perfect addition to your family. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
