About Clyde

Clyde is a 10-month-old Boxer mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. At about 35 lbs, Clyde is energetic, playful, and thrives on affection and adventure. After surviving tough times with his sister Bonnie, Clyde learned to be protective of his food around other dogs but never toward people—he stays gentle and trusting, letting anyone handle his food and toys without trouble. Clyde enjoys the company of people of all ages and loves spending time with other dogs, especially outside mealtimes. Giving him his own space to eat helps him feel secure, and he's otherwise a typical older pup who likes to explore, play, and relax at home. This smart, resilient boy has adapted well in foster care and is eager for a forever family that can offer a little structure and lots of love so he’ll always feel safe and never worry about going hungry again. Clyde is neutered, fully vetted, heartworm negative, and microchipped. Click apply to start the adoption process.
