Meet Clint – A Gentle Soul with a Heart Ready to Bloom

Say hello to Clint, a 10-pound Corgi/Heeler mix with soft tan and white fur and a quiet charm that sneaks up on you. Born in March 2025, this little pup is just beginning his journey, and he’s looking for a patient, loving family to help him grow into the confident dog he’s meant to be.

Clint is on the shy side—he tends to hang back and observe before diving in—but once he feels safe, his playful and intelligent personality starts to shine. He’s the kind of pup who will melt into your lap for quiet snuggles after a day of sniffing, learning, and exploring. He’s got a thoughtful way about him, and every little victory—like a new trick or a tail wag for a new friend—feels extra special.

He’s not house-trained just yet, and he’ll need some basic obedience training, but this boy is smart and eager to please. With gentle guidance and positive reinforcement, Clint will be a fast learner and a loyal companion.

Clint does well with other dogs and would benefit from having a confident dog buddy in the home to show him the ropes. Because he’s still finding his footing in the world, we recommend a fenced yard where he can safely explore at his own pace.

If you’re the kind of person who finds joy in helping a shy soul blossom, Clint could be your perfect match. With a little patience and a lot of love, you’ll watch him transform from cautious to confident—and it’ll be one of the most rewarding journeys you’ve ever taken.
