About Clyde

Clyde is a big, classic Plott Hound around 9 years old who came to HOPE after being found as a stray. Typical of his breed, Clyde is sweet-natured and independent, happiest when wandering and sniffing his way around. This guy is used to outdoor living and really appreciates room to roam, but he’d love nothing more than a comfortable home where he can enjoy indoor life with a soft bed or big couch for napping. He gets along well with most other dogs, but proper introductions are a must. It’s important to know that Clyde does resource guard special treats such as peanut butter lick mats, so feeding him separately from other pets and kids is best. The staff reports he’s fine accepting food from people, but shouldn’t be disturbed when eating or enjoying high-value treats. Given his past, it’s easy to understand why he wants to protect his food. Clyde’s looking for a loving family willing to give him the relaxed, secure home he’s never truly had. He deserves all the love and comfort his golden years can offer.
