About Clive

Clive and his buddy Bonnie are a bonded pair of boxer–pit mixes who share an easygoing, affectionate spirit. Clive is about two years old and around 57 pounds. He’s been living comfortably with smaller dogs—a poodle and a chihuahua—and does well in their company. Both dogs are friendly, quick to pick up new things, and genuinely enjoy interacting with people and other pets alike. They love to race each other around the yard or lounge together for a nap after playtime. Car rides are a breeze with them, and their eagerness to please makes everything easier. Leash walks are new territory, as they've mostly had free backyard access to date, but they seem like they’d be quick learners. If you’re looking for a pair that brings warmth, silliness, and companionship in equal measure, Clive and Bonnie fit the bill. Their adoption is only considered as a pair. Clive is in Houston, TX, and his adoption includes the option for transport to most states (additional fee applies). Every Aries is known for their lively energy—Clive is no exception.
