About Clyde

Clyde is a gentle Dachshund mix, and shelter life has left him a bit timid, though he opens up when it’s time to cuddle. He has a soft spot for kids and finds real comfort snuggled up close—cuddle time is where you’ll see his best side. Clyde enjoys tough chew toys and is crate trained, so he's used to a routine. He’s lived with other dogs but can get a little too playful for very small breeds, so a home without tiny dogs is best. What Clyde needs most is a patient, steady family ready to help him settle in and get all the affection he has missed. Click apply to start the adoption process.
