About Clyde

Clyde’s birthday is January 4, 2025, which makes him a Capricorn—a sign known for its persistence and loyalty. He came into rescue with his sister Bonnie as tiny pups from a shelter that couldn’t keep them much longer. Both had severe pneumonia, but with medication, steam baths, and some real care, they bounced back. Clyde is thought to be a shepsky—a blend of German Shepherd and Husky—which shows in his look and spirit. He’s shy at first but warms up fast and brings that typical puppy energy once he feels safe. Clyde is picking up leash walking and getting better about going outside for his business. He’d do best with a family ready to carry on his training and give him a lot of attention so he grows up solid and confident. He’ll be neutered before going home. Clyde is already vaccinated and gets along well with other dogs. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
