About Clay

Clay is a calm and mellow senior dog who was picked up as a stray. Unlike the others barking for attention, he patiently waits for his turn to be fed and taken outside. Clay is dog-friendly and would thrive in any environment, whether it's a quiet household or a bustling home with children. He’s heartworm positive and will begin treatment in mid-August; after that, he’ll be ready for adoption. With his easygoing nature and gentle demeanor, Clay promises to be a low-maintenance companion. If you’re interested in making Clay a part of your family, please contact homes4all@gonetodogs.org for more details. It's a good idea to reach out before visiting, as our shelter has irregular hours.
