Happy Tails for Clyde!

Our boy Clyde has found his forever home after 441 days in the shelter! He's living happily ever after thanks to our rescue partners at Woods Humane Society in San Luis Obispo (SLO). Clyde first came to HSVC as a stray with his friend, Bonita, after a good samaritan found them in a field. The pair of German Shepherd pups were placed on stray hold and made available for adoption once it was completed. 

Over a year passed with little adoption interest for sweet Clyde. After remembering the success of Ophelia's dog swap, HSVC's animal care staff connected with our friends at Woods in mid-September to arrange another swap. The Woods team drove to Ojai to bring one of their long-term residents, Bubba, to us and took good boy Clyde back to SLO with them. Our staff gave them a quick tour of the shelter before the pair went on their way back to Woods to find Clyde his forever home.

We are thrilled to report that Clyde found his family within days of arriving at Woods! He got the happily ever after he deserved!

Above, right: Clyde loaded up and ready for his adventure to meet his future family at Woods. According to their staff, Clyde's goofy personality made his transition very easy and he quickly made many new friends. It's no surprise he got adopted only about a week later upon arriving!

   Clyde's new parents were kind enough to share some update photos of our boy as he settled into his new home. We are so happy he found such a loving family! "He never really seemed to respond to Clyde, so we changed his name to 'Bo' and he responded to that instantly! Bo has been the perfect addition to our family, we still can’t believe how perfect he is! You can tell he is getting more and more comfortable by the day! He is a big teddy bear! We love him so much and you can tell he loves it! We are so thankful for how things played out! Thanks again for the most amazing dog I’ve ever had!" said Clyde's adopter, courtesy of Woods Humane Society.


Now it's time to find Bubba and Clyde's buddy, Bonita, their forever families! Like Clyde, 3-year-old Bonita is a beautiful German Shepherd who came to the shelter as a stray in late July 2023. She is a little more shy than Clyde, but Bonita is very friendly when she gets comfortable with you. Bonita is also a playgroup rockstar! She gets along with most dogs and loves to play in water. Bubba, also 3-years-old, is a stunning Pit Bull Terrier who was transferred to us from Woods in mid-September. He quickly captured the hearts of our staff and volunteers with his playful personality and ocean blue eyes. Despite his large size, Bubba is a big teddy bear who loves to wiggle around on his back and get belly rubs. 

   

Stop by the shelter if you are ready to open your heart and home to either one of these cutie patooties! The HSVC is located at 402 Bryant St. in Ojai and visiting hours are between 10 am and 4:30 pm. October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, so there's no better time to bring home a furry friend! HSVC is offering a "Pick a Pumpkin" adoption special for all dogs to celebrate Adopt a Shelter Dog Month. Future adopters can choose a pumpkin from our patch with a surprise adoption fee on the bottom. Fees can range from half-priced to free, though donations are highly encouraged. Don't miss out on the chance to bring one of these sweet dogs home for a discounted adoption fee!
