Say hello to Clifford! I'm an intelligent 2-3 year old Lab mix weighing 55-60lbs. I'm a well-mannered boy who is house-trained, crate-trained, and knows basic commands. I'm eager to learn more tricks and love to play fetch, especially in the water. I'm great with kids, but I can be a little enthusiastic when meeting new people. However, I settle down quickly!
If you’d like to meet Clifford or any of the adoptable animals, please contact Animal Services at 972 412-6219 or come by the shelter at 4402 Industrial St. from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday- Saturday.
