About Clay

Meet Clay, an adorable Affenpinscher who’s just beginning to show his goofy personality after a challenging start. He may be shy around new faces, but he does get along with other dogs, making him a great companion. While we’re unsure how he would interact with cats or children, he certainly needs a patient and understanding owner. Clay can be a bit anxious when left alone, so supervision is essential when he’s outside. He’s still learning proper leash behavior and enjoys hard chew toys and tasty treats. His journey towards confidence will be supported with love and care. With an adoption fee of $300, Clay comes vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped. If you're ready to show him the love he deserves, consider stopping by PAWS on Fridays or Saturdays from 10 AM to 4 PM. Let’s get started on this adventure together!
