Meet Clyde, a handsome 10-month-old Boxer mix who weighs around 35 lbs. This good boy has a heart as big as his bounce! He’s healthy, happy, and bursting with playful puppy energy. If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate companion who will happily join you for adventures and then curl up for snuggles afterward, this is your boy! Before coming into rescue, Clyde and his sister Bonnie survived on their own for several months and experienced severe starvation and neglect. Because of that, they developed some food-related resource guarding - but, only towards other dogs, never people. He is completely comfortable with people of all ages around his food and toys. You can hand-feed him treats, add food to his bowl or take it away from him completely, even while he’s eating, and pick up his toys without any issue at all. He has miraculously always been gentle and very trusting with people.  His only concern is making sure that other dogs don’t take his food, especially his sister. We think they found themselves in situations where they had to fight over every piece of food they could find, just to survive. Since being rescued, he has been in a foster home with several other dogs who have similar backgrounds and they have found that he does wonderfully when fed in his own crate. Having his own safe, quiet space to eat allows him to relax and enjoy his meals without worry. Outside of mealtimes, he is a typical older puppy and is happy to play, explore, and lounge around with all other dogs and his people.  He is very resilient, loving, and highly intelligent, ready for a fresh start with a family who understands that a little structure at mealtime helps him feel secure. He’s going to make an incredible companion, all he needs now is a forever home where he’ll always know he’s loved and safe - and will never be hungry again. Clyde is neutered, fully vetted, heartworm negative and microchipped. Our pups come with one month of free pet insurance when you adopt.
