About Clay

My name is Clay, but my foster mama calls me Bear because I'm just that cute! I was born on October 1st, 2023, and I'm already figuring out exactly who I am. I love being the center of attention – who doesn't? If you're handing out cuddles, compliments, or snacks, I'll be right there front and center. But I've also got a cool independent side. I'm perfectly happy taking my own little breaks, entertaining myself, or enjoying some quiet time to recharge. One of my greatest passions in life? Long-lasting bones. Seriously. Give me one and I'm in my happy place. Add snacks to the mix, and you've basically won my heart forever. I'm still young, but my personality is already big, sweet, and full of charm. If you're looking for a pup who can make you laugh, keep you company, and melt into your heart without even trying, I might just be your Bear.

Ideal Home

I'd love a playful buddy to grow up with, but I'd also be totally happy as your one-and-only, as long as there are plenty of toys, playdates, water (I love water!), and love to go around. I'm flexible like that. What matters most to me is having a home where I feel safe, adored, and included.

Ongoing Health

No specific health concerns are mentioned.

Training & Support

No specific training needs or behaviors are mentioned. I'm a young pup, so general guidance and positive reinforcement will help me continue to grow into a well-behaved companion.
