A Second Chance For Clyde
Clyde and his sister, Bonnie, were dumped at a local truck stop last summer. They were hot, hungry, covered in ticks, and so scared that it took us over two weeks to capture them. At first, Clyde was very shy around people and dependent on his sister for security. We tried to adopt them out together but, as is the case with many siblings who grow up together, they did not gel well with the other dog in the home and they reinforced each other’s fears and insecurities.
After Bonnie and Clyde were returned, we decided to split them up. Bonnie was adopted shortly after that and without his sister to hide behind, Clyde’s confidence shot through the roof! He finally gave in and accepted all the affection we’d been trying to give him and even started asking for it! He also became our go-to guy for playgroups and new dog evaluations.
Clyde is the perfect example of how the power of love can heal. During his time with us, he transformed into one of the most easy going and well behaved dogs we’ve ever seen come through the shelter. And the best part is, his excellent social skills landed him one of the best homes any dog could ever ask for with some of our biggest supporters. He just won the doggie lottery!

Help Fix our Fencing!
The shelter dogs love the front yard. It’s where they go to play, train, cool off in the kiddie pool, and, most importantly, participate in playgroups. The front yard is the only place where the dogs can run and play freely!
But over time, the chain link fence around the front yard has begun to fall apart and there are lots of big gaps along the bottom where dogs can easily slip under it. Without secure fencing, our playgroups are limited to just two or three dogs at a time and, sadly, there are a few escape artists who never get to run and play freely.
The cost of fixing the fence is $1,460.00. Please help free the shelter dogs by donating today! READ MORE...
