About Clyde

Clyde is a big-hearted, goofy Pit Bull living at a rescue in Roanoke, AL. Picked up as a stray at a hunting club, Clyde quickly won everyone over with his affectionate, clownish nature. He’s a large boy weighing in at about 75 pounds. People are his favorite thing, and he soaks up love and attention wherever he goes. There’s even a unique heart-shaped patch on his back that matches his gentle personality. Clyde is crate trained, house broken, and gets along well with other dogs—though he’s enthusiastic and may come on strong, so he’s best suited for a home with a big, playful female dog or no canine siblings. He’d thrive in a pit bull-experienced household committed to ongoing training and exercise for this strong, energetic boy. Older kids who like to play would make him especially happy. His favorite thing is to entertain himself with a big rubber tire, and after tiring out, he’s all about snuggly naptime with his people. Clyde also enjoys a ride in the car. He’s neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and up to date on heartworm prevention. He’s looking for someone who truly welcomes his affection and size. If you’re seeking a comical, loving companion, Clyde might be the one. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
