Weighing at almost 100 pounds and standing almost six feet on his hind legs, he is still a love bug. Playing ball, going on walks, and doing tricks for treats are his favorite things. If you have plenty of room in your home and your heart, stop by and meet Clyde. He sure would love to be adopted by you 🙏.
