My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Cletus`s Compatibility:
Dogs - Meet & Greet
Cats - No cats for this big guy
Kids - Cletus would love a home with just grown-ups

Cletus is a big-hearted, goofy boy with a rugged charm and an endless supply of tail wags. This brawny yet endearing pup has so much love to give and is searching for a home that understands his quirks and can help him grow into his best self.

In his recent home, Cletus showed off several wonderful traits. He was housebroken, did well in his crate, and was a respectful houseguest when left to free roam—no accidents or destruction here! He loves toys and will happily chase them around the yard with a bouncy, silly energy that’s impossible not to smile at. With dogs, Cletus seems to gravitate toward playful interactions, but his leash reactivity means he’ll need patience and guidance during introductions. He’s best walked on a back-clip harness to manage his strength.

Cletus thrives in an environment where he has structure and outlets for his energy. While he’s generally a sweet and goofy companion, he`s still learning about personal space and can get mouthy, especially when excited or seeking attention. This behavior highlights his need for a home with experienced adopters who can provide consistency, redirection, and positive reinforcement training.

If you’re ready to embrace this rugged, goofy hillbilly charm and help Cletus become the best version of himself, he’s ready to meet you. Let’s give this sweet pup the second chance he deserves!

More about this shelter

With an open admission policy, a No-Kill philosophy, and more than 3,100 animals crossing our threshold each year, we have still maintained a 98% placement rate over the last 3 years.

This is an amazing feat for any organization…let alone one that takes in some of the most abused, injured and seriously ill animals imaginable.
