Clyde - FREE TO ADOPT! - Labrador Retriever Dog for Adoption in Algood, Tennessee

This dog is in Tennessee. Adoption Donation $0 (FREE!) if picked up in TN, $100 plus transport fee for out-of-state adoptions.

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 www.aarf-tn.com today! Clyde's adoption fee is waived so his adoption is free if he is picked up in Tennessee.

Meet this dog at Petco on Saturday, July 11th from 1-4 pm CST at Petco, 377 W. Jackson St #11 Cookeville, TN 38501.

Prior to adoption, all canines and felines are spayed or neutered, have received their age appropriate vaccinations, have been de-wormed for common parasites, and have received treatment for prevention of fleas and ticks. All canines over the age of 6 months have been tested for heartworm. All canines are put on heartworm prevention as soon as possible - this means dogs as soon as they are tested negative. Puppies are put on prevention immediately. All felines, regardless of age, have been tested for Feline Leukemia/FIV. Each animal receives a health check by a licensed veterinarian prior to adoption. Anything else found will be treated by our organization prior to adoption.

The Labrador Retriever is a popular and versatile dog breed known for its friendly demeanor and high intelligence. These dogs are often used as guide dogs for the visually impaired, search and rescue dogs, and excellent family pets. Labradors are known for their great sense of smell, strong build, and love of water, making them exceptional hunters and swimmers. With their loyal and loving nature, Labradors have rightfully earned their reputation as one of the most beloved dog breeds in the world.

We have rescued, adopted out and transported almost 20,000 animals since July 2007. All this is made possible by volunteers...
