Clyde is is a handsome 7-8 year old Shepherd mix with a slim 50 pound physique and sparkling brown eyes. 
His original family was too old to care for him properly, and when he arrived at the shelter he was very skinny and anxious. With some love and patience in foster care, Clyde is beginning to thrive. Now he needs a forever home of his own.
Clyde has good manners, he knows ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘shake’, and ‘down’ commands. His foster mom calls Clyde her “helper” because he follows her from room to room, with interest in what she’s doing. He is active and playful, and loves romping in the back yard with his foster siblings.
Clyde’s ideal home will have a fenced yard with room for him to roam around. His favorite toys are a small basketball that he carries around, and a football that he likes to kick and chase. He is a little klutzy when he plays and it makes him look like a puppy. Clyde can be vocal, and sometimes bark when he is happy. He loves going for walks and has good leash manners too.
He is good around other dogs but a cat-free home is preferable. He is ok with kids who are dog savvy. Clyde does have some mild arthritis, but with a little glucosamine at dinner, he is good to go. Clyde is a ladies’ man, he is very comfortable around women and can be rather timid with men. He does warm up in time if you are patient with him.
