Clyde is one of those dogs you remember—steady, peaceful, kindhearted. For anyone who loves hounds, he’s a classic treeing walker coonhound, mature and gentle, looking for a slower pace and real affection. He was overlooked in a packed rural shelter until a rescue stepped in, drawn to his soft eyes and patient spirit. Clyde is content to quietly lean into you, gaze up as if you’re the only person in the room, and settle near your side. Walks are easy with him; on leash he moves calmly, happy just to be out with you. At events, he waits quietly, never pushing for attention but never far from his foster’s side either. Household routines are still a learning curve for Clyde—he hasn’t had the comforts of a home before, so a little patience with house training and basic manners goes a long way. But he’s a quick study, easygoing enough to adapt. He recently had a full dental and is ready to flash that fresh smile at his next family. If you’re looking for an older companion who wants nothing more than gentle company, Clyde is the one worth meeting. Make his golden years his best yet—he’s ready. Adoption is through Augusta Dog Adoptions, with meetings in Waynesboro, VA. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
