Meet Clayton (and His Gentle Shadow, Amanda!)

5–6 years old • Doberman Gentleman • Protector, Hero & Bonded Pair Royalty www.uniteddobermanrescue.org

All rise for His Royal Doberness, Clayton — a 5–6-year-old noble soul with a velvet coat, a heart of gold, and a sworn oath to protect his queen: Amanda.

Clayton is confident, kind, and the loyal overseer of his very best friend Amanda, who’s a bit more timid and reserved. He’s the kind of guy who scopes the yard before she steps out, checks the room before she settles in, and makes sure the world is safe before she takes her place beside you. He’s not pushy or loud — just calmly in charge, always looking out for her with the quiet nobility of a true Doberman protector.

And their story? It’s one for the books. Clayton and Amanda were rescued together from a San Antonio drainage ditch, terrified and clinging to each other — it took the fire department to bring them to safety. Since that day, their bond has been unbreakable. They survived together, healed together, and now they’re looking for a home where they can thrive together.

Clayton is house-trained, easygoing, and deeply devoted to his humans. He brings calm, steady energy to the home, making Amanda feel safe and secure — and giving you the incredible joy of witnessing a love story every single day.

We know, two Dobermans can sound like a lot — but this pair? They’re easy keepers. No drama, no chaos — just pure devotion, teamwork, and two incredible dogs who were meant to be a package deal.

Clayton is ready to rule your couch, your heart, and your home — right beside his queen Amanda.
