Clyde is a two-year-old Black Lab mix with a whole lot of charm, a whole lot of smarts, and an absolutely legendary reaction to the sight of a tennis ball. This friendly, outgoing 45-pound boy is one of those dogs who makes friends everywhere he goes and brings genuine joy to everyone lucky enough to meet him. At home, Clyde is sweet, affectionate, and perfectly happy to spend an evening snuggled on the couch with his people. Out in the world, he is energetic, curious, and ready for whatever adventure comes next. He knows sit, down, stay, heel, and wait, picks up new commands quickly, and is highly treat motivated, making him a trainer's dream. He is housetrained, walks well on a leash, sleeps in his crate at night and gets along with other dogs and older teen children. Homes with cats are not a good fit for Clyde, however.
Now, about that tennis ball - Clyde will chase it with full force and unbridled enthusiasm, sprinting after it like it is the most important mission of his life. Bringing it back is a skill still very much in development, but the look on his face mid-chase makes the whole thing completely worthwhile. Clyde does get motion sickness in the car, so a family who lives close to good walking trails or has a fenced yard for outdoor play would be ideal. He is smart, loving, and full of potential, and is looking for an active family ready to spend a little time and training for a dog who will absolutely give it all back and then some. To learn more about Clyde, text AARF at 931-260-8018 or visit .aarf-tn today! Clyde's adoption fee is waived so his adoption is free if he is picked up in Tennessee.
