Psst… hi! CLETUS here.

I'm a smart guy who just needs the right quiet home where I can be my true self—couch potato by day, morning athlete, and eventually your most loyal shadow once you earn my trust.

My notes say I'm a world-class cuddler, and I'd like that on the record.

I'm on the bigger side — which, if you ask me, is just more of me to hug.

I'm a Chandler local, just waiting on the right person.

Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.

Who knows — by Labor Day I might be napping on somebody's couch. I'd love it to be near you, one way or another.

Thanks for stopping by and giving me a moment — it honestly made my whole day. — CLETUS

About CLETUS

MEET CLETUS: A smart boy looking for a quiet life. Are you looking for a dog who is content to be a couch potato during the day but an athlete in the mornings? Meet Cletus (aka Cleetwood Mac)! Cletus is a misunderstood intellectual. He is incredibly smart, potty trained (never had an accident!), and non-destructive in the home. However, Cletus is an introvert. He finds strangers overwhelming and has a strict "no petting" policy until he knows you well. He can be protective of his food and toys, so he needs a home that honors his personal bubble. Why you'll love him: Once Cletus trusts you, the walls come down. He becomes a loyal, cuddly friend who wants to sleep under the fan near you. He is a foodie who will do anything for a piece of purple sweet potato or a Trader Joe's treat. He is also a dream to live with—he respects the home and loves his crate. What he needs to thrive: A "Respectful Roommate" vibe: We let Cletus come to us. We don't force affection. A Quiet Kingdom: No children and no other pets. Cletus finds "tiny humans" scary and needs to be the only animal in the house. A Secure Environment: Because of his prey drive for small animals, he cannot be off-leash in unfenced areas. Patience: Cletus may snap if pushed too fast by strangers. He needs an advocate who will tell guests, "Please ignore the dog," so Cletus feels safe. Cletus is a surprisingly easy dog to live with once his routine is set. He is ready to bond with a special person who appreciates a dog with depth.
