Clifford's final date has been extended and he must leave the shelter by 09/02/25.
CLIFFORD (A1389379) was placed on final on 08/19/2025.
Summary of Behavior:
Clifford is an undersocialized dog showing fear, anxiety, and emerging safety concerns. He barks, growls, and lunges when approached in his kennel and initially freezes when leashed but responds to encouragement. He’s hesitant to walk alone on leash but improves with another dog and coaxing. In the yard, Clifford is reactive to other dogs, growling and chasing them. Recently, he has begun nipping and attempting to bite during kennel handling, including a light nip to a handler’s leg and trying to bite a boot, creating safety concerns and leading to his removal from the potty walk list. Due to his undersocialization, fearfulness, dog reactivity, and emerging aggression during handling, Clifford is being placed on final and will require a home equipped to provide ongoing socialization and training.
We do not have the resources available to care for this pet with these specific needs at this time.
Path Forward:
Rescue must commit and *pull* Clifford by 5 PM on 08/26/2025, or Clifford will be humanely euthanized. Rescue will also need to have a waiver signed and submitted prior to leaving with the dog.
****CLIFFORD IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR FOSTER OR ADOPTION. RESCUE ONLY****
EXTENSION REQUEST PROCESS:
A Rescue Group (RG) may request an extension of an animal’s Needs Rescue Final Date no later than 10:00 a.m. on the noted ‘final date’ via email to the SJRescue@sanjoseca.gov with a cc to a Division Manager or Shelter Operations Supervisor.
Extension requests must be from the RG interested in in the animal, include specific information as to delays in rescue commitment, specific care arrangements, or other time-based mitigating factors that warrant an extension. A one-time extension up to 72-hour may be granted to accommodate RG, but are not guaranteed based on capacity or condition or other constraints.
