At about 3.5 years old and currently in Phoenix, AZ, this handsome hunk has had quite a journey. Once the cherished companion of a member of our community facing tough times, Clyde found himself in need of urgent medical care for a severe injury to his front left leg. Thanks to an outpouring of support, he received everything he needed—including a loving foster home where he truly thrives. Clyde is enjoying the comfort of indoor life, complete with his very own pool and a cozy bed! This spirited tri-pod doesn’t let life on three legs slow him down—he loves his walks, taking short breaks along the way, and his favorite activity is swimming. With a fabulous mix of Cane Corso, Neapolitan Mastiff, and American Pit Bull Terrier, Clyde weighs in at 71lbs and shows off the best traits of these loyal, affectionate breeds. He is healthy, up to date on all shots, neutered, microchipped, and house trained. Clyde is gentle, big-hearted, and an absolute world-class cuddler. He adores making new dog friends—big and small—and seems to get along well with children. This dog deserves a home where he can be pampered and cherished for the rest of his life.
