Adopt: Clovis the English Coonhound

Clovis in Pulaski County, VA

Clovis was found as a stray in Pulaski County, Virginia early in 2013. Since hounds are very rarely adopted from rural shelters, City Dogs Rescue decided to save this young boy with lots of potential. Clovis is about 1-2 years old and weighs 42 lbs. He is currently in the Washington, DC area hoping to find his forever home.

"He just wants to be loved"

Clovis is currently in a foster home.  One of his caretakers says, "Clovis loves life.  He loves people, wagging his tail at the sight of anyone.  He just wants to be loved...and, in turn, it is hard not to fall in love with him!  He is very food motivated, so any lack of training he has had in his previous life will be easily turned around."

Clovis has done well in and out of the crate.  While success can vary with new situations, he was not destructive when left out during the workday and he didn't have any accidents.  He enjoys relaxing on his dog bed.

Clovis absolutely loves to play outside. His favorite toys to play with in the yard are his porcupine and squirrel.  Inside, he loves a peanut butter kong and bully sticks. 

Everyone always notices what a smart dog Clovis is and how eager he is to please his humans. Clovis is still a pup, but he has already begun to master basic commands like, “sit,” “stay,” “heel,” and “paw.”


Clovis does great at adoption events where enjoys all the attention and petting. He gets along great with other dogs, too. 


We'd love to find Clovis a forever home where he can get some exercise.  He loves long walks or trips to the dog park.  He would do great with some nose classes that are designed for scent dogs. 

Special thanks to the Wadler family for patiently fostering him!
